To the best of our knowledge, we present for the first time spectroscopic methane measurements using a laser diode at 3.3μm operated in continuous mode at room temperature. The DFB-type laser emits a maximum optical output power of 1.5mW with a spectral linewidth below 10MHz. This novel kind of semiconductor laser allows precise photoacoustic measurements of characteristic methane absorption structures...
