Abstract:

A softwave-controlled photoacoustic spectrometer is developed on the basis of TEC-520 diode laser (output power 30 mW, coarse tuning range 6060–6600 cm-1, line width ~ 5E-5 cm-1, fine tuning range 0÷ 2.5 cm-1), WS-UIR laser wavelength meter (relative error Δλ/λ ~ 1E-8), and resonance photoacoustic detector with threshold sensitivity ~ 3E-10 W × cm-1 × Hz-1/2. Procedures and computer programs for spectra measurements and processing are developed. The results of the water vapor spectra measurements are presented.

Keywords:

absorption spectrum, diode laser, photoacoustic detector, mirror modulator
