Abstract

A diode laser spectrometer was used in the Groupe de Spectrométrie Moléculaire et Atmosphérique of Reims (France) to study CO 2 line intensities, self-broadening coefficients and air-pressure-broadening coefficients near 2.063 μm. The spectral region ranging from 4843 to 4848 cm −1, which is suitable for the measurement of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) mixing ratios was studied using a new generation-commercial diode laser from Nanoplus. Three lines of the (20°1) III←(0 0 0) band of CO 2 have been studied. The results of intensity measurements and self-broadening coefficients are compared with previous determinations and available databases. Furthermore, the air-broadening coefficients for these transitions are also reported and analyzed. Finally, these new parameters are used for the measurement of atmospheric CO 2 mixing ratio with the 2 μm heterodyne differential absorption Lidar from the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique at Palaiseau (France). These new parameters demonstrate a dramatic improvement of the retrieved atmospheric CO 2 concentrations.
