Abstract

A simple and powerful new spectroscopic technique for performing direct absorption measurements is described. Commercial pulsed laser systems can achieve absorption sensitivities >1 ppm at measurement times of 10-5 s with high spatial and spectral resolution. Applications for spectroscopy, kinetics, in situ flame studies, and trace-gas analysis are described.
