Abstract
Near-IR and visible room-temperature diode lasers in broadly tunable e xternal-cavity configurations are becoming commercially available for gas-sensing applications. Near 1.57 mu m, a coincidence of overtone an d combination-band transitions from CO, CO2, OH, and H2O is particular ly interesting for combustion and combustor emissions monitoring. we r eport initial observations of the room-temperature absorption of CO an d CO2 made with a commercial external-cavity diode laser.
