Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a novel method for temperature determination using dual-comb spectroscopy and a novel analysis technique, “Rotational-state Distribution Thermometry: RDT.” We obtained the spectral profile of a vibration–rotation band of 12C2H2 using dual-comb spectroscopy at room temperature. The line-center absorbance was determined for each transition by fitting the line profile to a Gaussian function. A model function that relates the rotational temperature of the molecule to the distribution of the line-center absorbance was introduced; the gas temperature was determined by fitting the distribution to the model function. The determined temperature agrees to within 0.6 K with the cell-wall temperature measured with a platinum resistance thermometer. In addition, using the spectral profile obtained in this study, we compare the present analysis with two conventional methods for determining the gas temperature; one is based on the line-center absorbance ratio, and the other on the Doppler width. The present method takes full advantage of the supreme characteristics of dual-comb spectroscopy and has the potential to offer fast and precise thermometry.
