The emission wavelength of the tunable diode laser, viz. VCSEL, DFB, etc., is tuned over the characteristic absorption lines of a species in the gas in the path of the laser beam. This causes a reduction of the measured signal intensity due to absorption, which can be detected by a photodiode , and then used to determine the gas concentration ...
Among the types of tunable lasers are excimer lasers, gas lasers (such as CO 2 and He-Ne lasers), dye lasers (liquid and solid state), transition-metal solid-state lasers, semiconductor crystal and diode lasers, and free-electron lasers. [1] Tunable lasers find applications in spectroscopy, [2] photochemistry, atomic vapor laser isotope ...
Laser absorption spectrometry (LAS) refers to techniques that use lasers to assess the concentration or amount of a species in gas phase by absorption spectrometry (AS). Optical spectroscopic techniques in general, and laser-based techniques in particular, have a great potential for detection and monitoring of constituents in gas phase .
Part of a Ti:sapphire oscillator. The Ti:sapphire crystal is the bright red light source on the left. The green light is from the pump diode. Titanium-sapphire lasers (also known as Ti:sapphire lasers, Ti:Al 2 O 3 lasers or Ti:sapphs) are tunable lasers which emit red and near-infrared light in the range from 650 to 1100 nanometers.
Optically pumped semiconductor laser 920 nm-1.35 μm Laser diode Projection, life sciences, forensic analysis, spectroscopy, eye surgery, laser light shows. The lasing medium is a semiconductor chip. Frequency doubling or tripling is typically done to produce visible or ultraviolet radiation. Power levels of several watts are possible.
The resulting gas flow is analyzed in the mass spectrometer with a mass range of 2–535 daltons. [1] [5] The tunable laser spectrometer (TLS) performs precision measurements of oxygen and carbon isotope ratios in carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) in the atmosphere of Mars in order to distinguish between their geochemical or biological ...
The difference is the choice of the laser wavelength, which must be selected to match the energy of an electronic transition in the sample. A tunable laser is thus often used for resonance Raman spectroscopy, since a single laser can be used to generate many possible excitation wavelengths to match different samples. [8]
In tunable laser resonators intracavity beam expansion usually illuminates the whole width of a diffraction grating. [2] Thus beam expansion reduces the beam divergence and enables the emission of very narrow linewidths [ 3 ] which is a desired feature for many analytical applications including laser spectroscopy.
