Abstract
A Faraday modulation spectrometer for sensitive and fast detection of nitric oxide at 5.33 μm utilizing a room temperature continuous wave distributed feedback quantum cascade laser and a Peltier cooled MCT detector is presented. The magnetic field was modulated at 7.4 kHz whereas the laser wavelength was scanned at 20 Hz across the most favorable rotational-vibrational transition for FAMOS, Q3/2(3/2), at 5.33 μm. Using a 15 cm optical path and lineshape fitting, the spectrometer provides a detection limit of 4.5 ppb for a response time of 1 s. An Allan variance analysis demonstrates that the system has an excellent stability, up to several hours of operation.
