Atmospheric pressure air plasmas are often thought to be in local thermodynamic
equilibrium owing to fast interspecies collisional exchange at high pressure. This …

Cavity ring-down (CRD) spectroscopy is a direct absorption technique, which can be
performed with pulsed or continuous light sources and has a significantly higher sensitivity …

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 …

Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy: Techniques and Applications provides a practical
overview of this valuable analytical tool, explaining the fundamental concepts and …

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 …

The measurement of electronic spectra of supersonically cooled molecules and clusters is a
widely used approach for addressing many problems in chemistry. The most established …

Continuous wave (cw) diode lasers are increasingly being used as light sources in the
visible and near-IR regions of the spectrum for cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) and …

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 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 …

In this introductory chapter we will begin with an historical outline of the development of
cavity enhanced absorption methods, with just enough attention to the applications that …
