The application of pulsed cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) was demonstrated for the measurement of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in automotive exhaust gas. The transition of the ν3 vibrational band assigned to the antisymmetric stretching mode of NO2 was probed with a thermoelectrically cooled, pulsed, mid-infrared, distributed feedback, quantum cascade laser (QCL) at 6.13 μm. The measurement of NO2...
We report the accurate and precise measurement of nitric oxide (NO) in automotive exhaust gas by cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) using a thermoelectrically cooled, pulsed quantum cascade laser (QCL) as a light source. A mid-infrared QCL with a 5.26 μm wavelength was used to detect fundamental vibrational transitions of NO. An effective optical path length of 2.1 km was achieved in a 50 cm long...
