We report on the development of a Faraday rotation spectroscopy (FRS) instrument using a DFB diode laser operating at 2.8 µm for the hydroxyl (OH) free radical detection. The highest absorption line intensity and the largest gJ value make the Q (1.5) double lines of the 2Π3/2 state (υ = 1 ← 0) at 2.8 µm clearly the best choice for sensitive detection in the infrared region by FRS. The prototype instrument shows shot-noise dominated performance and, with an active optical pathlength of only 25 cm and a lock-in time constant of 100 ms, achieves a 1σ detection limit of 8.2 × 10(8) OH radicals/cm3.
我们报告了一种用于检测羟基(OH)自由基的法拉第旋转光谱(FRS)仪器的开发情况。该仪器使用工作在2.8 µm的分布反馈(DFB)二极管激光器。2.8 µm处2Π3/2态(υ = 1 ← 0)的Q(1.5)双线具有最高的吸收线强度和最大的gJ值,显然是FRS在红外区域进行灵敏检测的最佳选择。该原型仪器表现出散粒噪声主导的性能,有效光程仅25 cm,锁定时间常数为100 ms,实现了8.2×10(8)个OH自由基/cm3的1σ检测限。
