Accurate determination of spectral parameters for carbon monoxide (CO) transitions is crucial for the development of laser absorption spectroscopy-based CO sensors. This study reports the measurement of line strengths, self-broadening coefficients, and their temperature-dependent exponents for three transitions in the first overtone band near 2.3 μm.

We report the development of a multi-pass diode laser absorption spectroscopy system for simultaneous measurements of soot volume fraction (SVF), temperature, and CH concentration using a single diode laser near 1.543 µm. A line-shaped beam spot pattern is chosen for the open-path Herriott multi-pass cavity, enabling sensitive detection at various heights above the burner with an effective optical absorption path length of approximately 1.

An FDM-assisted opposite two-way OA-CEAS system is reported in this paper. Compared with the traditional OA-CEAS system with one-way transmission configuration, the new system has two main advantages. One of the advantages is that four lasers can be employed for simultaneous measurements of multiple species in this system.

An opposite two-way off-axis cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy-based multi-gas sensor is reported. More than two lasers can be employed in the sensor for simultaneous detection of different gas species. An approximately two times improvement in magnitude of the 2f signal and the signal-to-noise ratio is achieved because the concave spherical mirrors outside each end of the cavity and the narrow bandpass filters before the detectors can act as re-injection mirrors to re-inject the light into the cavity in the scheme.

In the tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy-based diagnostics, the absorption of the measured target species may be influenced by the interference absorption from other vapor-phase species and the extinction from particles and liquid droplets, especially at high temperatures and pressures. Here, we report the first application (to our knowledge) of a differential absorption diagnostic for interference-free, simultaneous measurement of temperature and ethylene concentration using a single distributed-feedback diode laser near 1.62 μm.
