| Zusammenfassung |
| An inexpensive, compact instrument for the sensitive measurement of NO3
and N2O5 in ambient air at high time resolution is described.
Light from a red-emitting laser diode (≈662 nm) is coupled
off-axis into an optical resonator defined by two highly reflective mirrors
to achieve effective absorption paths exceeding 20 km. Light leaking from
the cavity is detected either as single ring-down events (time constant of
≈100 μs) following rapid switching of the laser intensity at
200 Hz (Cavity Ring Down mode), or as an integrated intensity (Cavity
Enhanced Absorption mode). The operational conditions, detection limits (2 pptv in 5 s) and total uncertainty (<15% for NO3<10 pptv) for
the prototype device for NO3 and N2O5 detection/monitoring
are assessed and the first measurements in ambient air and from an
environmental chamber are described. |
