Abstract
We demonstrate a substantial enhancement of gas Raman scattering using a bidirectional multi-pass cavity CERS system, which incorporates a polarization beam-splitting optical path. The system design allows the laser light to traverse the multi-pass cavity for four specific trips, satisfying the need for quick detection of various gas components. Our gas detection experiments using multi-pass cavities with different times of reflection indicate that the addition of polarization beam-splitting optical path gives 1.5 to 1.68 times enhancement of Raman signal compared with that of the system without polarization beam-splitting. For the detection of CH4, a limit of detection of 1.66 ppm was achieved with our system using a multi-pass cell with 41 times of reflection and an integration time of 30s. Our proposed design, which integrates a bidirectional multi-pass cavity with polarization beam-splitting optical path, gives an economical multicomponent gas detection system and a valuable tool for guiding the design and precise alignment of these cavities. This system shows significant promise for applications in e.g. human breath and environmental monitoring.
