Cavity enhanced spectroscopy methods for measurement of optical properties of aerosol particles

A continuous wave distributed feedback diode laser operating in the near infrared at wavelengths close to 1650 nm has been used to measure the extinction of light by aerosol particles. The technique of optical feedback cavity ring-down spectroscopy (OF-CRDS) was used to enable measurement of CRDS ev...

Description
Summary:A continuous wave distributed feedback diode laser operating in the near infrared at wavelengths close to 1650 nm has been used to measure the extinction of light by aerosol particles. The technique of optical feedback cavity ring-down spectroscopy (OF-CRDS) was used to enable measurement of CRDS events at a repetition rate of 1.25 kHz.
