Much of the important chemistry of the atmosphere takes place on exceedingly small
concentration scales, with principle components occurring at mixing ratios that vary from the …

This paper reviews several novel uses of lasers in atomic spectroscopy. A tutorial discussion
is given of the basic processes involving the interaction of laser radiation with atoms and the …

Until now, applications of cavity ring down spectroscopy (CRDS) employed pulsed laser
sources. Here, we demonstrate that a commercial single-frequency CW laser can also be …

The editors have assembled a world-class group of contributors who address the questions
the combustion diagnostic community faces. They are chemists who identify the species to …

Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) is a laser-based absorption spectroscopy technique
that is starting to find extensive application as a consequence of the very high sensitivity of …

Cavity ring‐down is becoming a widely used technique in gas phase spectroscopy. It holds
promise for further important extensions, which will lead to even more frequent use …

We recently demonstrated how in cativy ring down spectroscopy (CRDS) a CW single
frequency dye laser may be conveniently employed in place of the pulsed laser of standard …

Cavity ring-down polarimetry (CRDP), a new, ultrasensitive method for probing circular
birefringence and circular dichroism, has been developed by extending the well-established …

We present a cavity ring-down spectroscopy apparatus suitable for high-resolution
absorption spectroscopy. The central feature of the spectrometer is a ring-down cavity …

We have performed cavity ring-down spectroscopy by locking a high-finesse resonator to the
probe laser. We have obtained combination overtone spectra of water vapor in the ambient …
