Abstract.
Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) has so far mostly been used for measurements in the gas phase. Only in 1999 was a first spectrum of condensed phase published. This spectrum was measured by using a coated plate between the cavity mirrors. Rather than using this method, our measurements were made using the cavity mirrors as a substrate. This way, the scattering losses could be reduced by approximately a factor of 100. In our measurements we investigated molecularly thin layers of iodine. The iodine spectra were taken in the frequency range from 16200 to 17200 cm-1 using pulsed CRDS.
