Abstract
Small changes in mirror displacement cause variations in the reflection pattern and corresponding optical path length in a multi-pass absorption cell. Herein, we propose a path length calibration-free laser absorption spectrometer based on a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) ranging system. The absorption coefficient of atmospheric oxygen and the optical path length in a multi-pass absorption cell were measured using direct absorption spectroscopy and an FMCW ranging system, respectively. Further, the measured optical path length in the multi-pass absorption cell was compared with ray-tracing simulations. In addition, we demonstrated that the optical absorption coefficients measured by the direct absorption spectroscopy were not affected by changes in the distance between mirrors.
