Ozone Detection via Deep-Ultraviolet Cavity-Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy with a Laser Driven Light Source.

We present a novel sensing approach for ambient ozone detection based on deep-ultraviolet (DUV) cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) using a laser driven light source (LDLS). The LDLS has broadband spectral output which, with filtering, provides illumination between ~230-280 nm. The lamp light is coupled to an optical cavity formed from a pair of high-reflectivity (R~0.
