Abstract

A high-resolution time-resolved Fourier transform interferometer is combined with a multimode Cr4+:YAG laser for intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy (ICLAS) experiments. Atmospheric absorption spectra are recorded in the 1.5 μm region with a minimum detectable absorption coefficient equal to 8×10-11 cm-1 Hz-1/2. The broad gain bandwidth of the crystal allows a simultaneous spectral coverage at most equal to 38 nm. The laser tunability covers the 1360–1577 nm range. Water vapor detection domain extends from the 100 ppmv down to the 0.1 ppbv level.
