Doppler-broadened mid-infrared NICE-OHMS system based on an optical parametric oscillator

• An OPO-based NICE-OHMS instrument for trace gas detection addressing fundamental vibration transitions in the mid-IR (3.2-3.9 µm) range has been developed. It shows a detection sensitivity for CH4 of 2.4×10−10cm−1Hz−1∕2 (corresponding to low ppt concentrations).
