Abstract:Continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy using an electronically switched telecom distributed feedback laser module is demonstrated. By adding a compensation waveform current to the step-function switched laser current the laser wavelength stabilisation time is reduced to about 4 ms corresponding to a 200 Hz utmost ring-down transient repetition rate.Introduction: Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) [1, 2] is a direct absorption technique based on the measurement of the rate of absorption of laser light … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
