Abstract
A high sensitivity wavelength modulated reinjection off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy (WM-RE-OA-ICOS) experimental setup was built at a 2 μm band. On the basis of an off-axis integrated output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS), combined with an optical reinjection (RE) approach to improve signal intensity, and wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system, the experimental study of trace CO2 with high sensitivity was carried out using the setup. The performance was compared and evaluated, and the results show that: Compared with the OA-ICOS, the wavelength modulated reinjection OA-ICOS enhanced the signal intensity by 6.3 times, and the SNR increased 7.2 times from 179 to 1288. The Allan variance results showed that the detection limit of the system is 0.35 ppm when the average system time is 230 s. The setup was used to measure the indoor CO2 concentration for a long time (22 h), and the measured results were in line with the actual concentration change. The proposed method shows good performance enhancement for the OA-ICOS system in trace gas measurements.Funding Information
