Abstract
Tunable diode laser spectroscopy has become a widely used and important technique for ultra-high resolution infrared measurements (1). A resolution i n the order of 10-4 cm-1 makes it possible, for example, to study fully resolved lineshapes of Doppler broadened lines of low pressure molecular gases. Such measurements, which can be made rapidly and easily with a tunable diode laser spectrometer, are virtually impossible by other techniques. Tunable diode lasers are also being used in sensitive air pollution monitors in both point (2) and long-path configurations (3). The purpose of the present paper is to review and discuss new applications of tunable diode laser spectroscopy in several areas relating specifically to chemical analysis and measurement, including nonlinear spectroscopy and photochemistry. These lasers have a number of unique features of particular interest in chemical analysis. Some of these features and their general uses are summarized in Table I. Low Level Detection
