Abstract
In this paper, we experimentally asses the performance of wavelength modulation spectroscopy-based spectrometers incorporating 1.3 m-long gas absorption cells formed by an antiresonant hollow core fiber (ARHCF) and a Kagome hollow core fiber. To evaluate the discrepancies with minimum methodology error, the sensor setup was designed to test both fibers simultaneously, providing comparable measurement conditions. Ethane (C2H6) with a transition located at 2996.88 cm-1 was chosen as the target gas. The experiments showed, that due to better light guidance properties, the ARHCF-based sensor reached a minimum detection limit of 4 ppbv for 85 s integration time, which is more than two times improvement in comparison to the result obtained with the Kagome fiber.
