Improved system for trace gas detection using homodyne laser interferometry

Abstract

Photothermal spectroscopy can be used as a sensitive technique for the detection of trace molecules in the atmosphere. The gas sample is heated through the selective absorption by the trace species of an excitation laser, usually a CO2 laser. In our implementation of the technique the resulting heating effect is detected by optical homodyne laser interferometry.
