Abstract
A new technique for photo-acoustic Raman spectroscopy (PARS) and coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) is proposed and demonstrated for the detection of H 2 and CH 4 at atmospheric pressure. Conventionally, these types of nonlinear Raman spectroscopy require two lasers whose frequency difference is tuned to the Raman frequency. In the proposed scheme, only a pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used as a pumping source, and a Raman shifter filled with the same gas to be detected is combined. This allows automatic generation of the Raman-shifted radiation. In the case of CH 4, the measurement with the optimized scheme shows that detection limits up to 1 ppm for PARS and 15 ppm for CARS are achieved. The proposed PARS technique allows the measurement of the CH 4 concentration in the natural air. Although the sensitivity of CARS is lower than that of PARS, the signal to noise ratio (S/N) for higher concentrations is better.
