Stable Optical Cavities For R = 1, modes exist which exactly reproduce themselves upon round trip. 0 < L < R 1 or R 2 < L < R 1 +R 2 (R 1 < R 2 ) If R 2 - R 1, << L, then R 1 < L < R 2 only weakly unstable Optic axis defined by line through centers of curvature of mirrors Light rays will oscillate around optic axis.

Transverse resonance modes of Cavities If δ g = M/N, then we have rational cavity with periodic transmission spectrum. Arbitrary pulse inside Cavity will exactly reshape after N round trips -- such cavities are used for Herriott Cells.
11 Some Uses for Optical Cavities in Spectroscopy Control frequency and linewidth of lasers Monitor laser scan for calibration Laser linewidth is reduced by locking on to the transmission peak of a cavity Cavities are used to build up intensity External c.w. second harmonic generators Pump extremely weak transitions Used to enhance optical absorption
12 Cavity Ring-Down Absorption Spectroscopy R>99.99% Absorption R>99.99% Intensity I(t) = I 0 exp[ t( c ln R + c σ(λ) N)] L Time L eff =L/(1-R) Where: c : speed of light L : length of cavity R : mirror reflectivity σ : absorption cross section N : number density (concentration) L eff : effective pathlength
13 Ring Down Cavity Technique First Developed by O Keefe and Deacon Rev. Sci. Instr. 59, 2544 (1988) Theory: Romanini and Lehmann J. Chem. Phys. 99, 6287 (1993) Use a passive optical cavity formed from two high reflective mirrors (T~1-100 ppm) Excite cavity with a pulsed laser to fill with photons Detect exponential decay of light intensity inside resonator Decay rate reflects: Loss due to mirrors (slowly changing with wavelengths) Absorption of gas between mirrors
14 Advantages of CRDS Method Allows much longer pathlengths than traditional multipass cells Only sensitive to absorption and scattering between mirrors Beer s Law holds for all pathlengths; pathlengths determined by time if resolution exceeds width of absorption lines Calibration samples are not needed Cell is very compact; light contained in narrow spot of ~ 1 mm 2 Cell insensitive to vibration since it is a stable optical cavity Amplitude noise of laser not important Can use low power optical sources
15 Continue growth- publications per year Based upon searches of Web of Science data base for CRDS, Cavity CRLAS, Ring CEAS, Down ICOS, Spectroscopy NICE-OHMS
16 Early CRDS Princeton Used to detect high overtone transitions of HCN and other molecules Provided way to determine absolute absorption strength of extremely weak transitions. Could be done with very simple experimental set-up compared to intracavity photoaccoustic spectroscopy.

If the red x still appears, you may have to delete the image and then insert it again. Allan variance and the detection limit in CRDS Applied Physics B 57, (1993) In CRDS the accurate measurement of decay time constant can be limited by slow drift of setup. Allan variance can be used to analyze the stability of instrument. For a N time-series data x i the Allan variance is given by: k is the subgroup size and m+1 is the number of subgroups. The integration time T equals to k/f, where f is sample rate. When white noise is dominant in the system (uncorrelated decays), Allan variance is proportional to 1/T and averaging data can improve the signal to noise ratio. When the drift appears Allan variance will become larger. The longest T during which the instrument can be regarded stable is determined by the drift of the system. The minimum of Allan variance gives the smallest detectable change during the longest integration time period.
25 What does this mean for water detection? Noise equivalent to 68 pptv divided by the square root of the number of ring down events averaged to get signal, i.e. ~2 pptv for averaging 1000 decays.
