摘要
We demonstrate a heterodyne-detected cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) method that allows for a noise-equivalent absorption coefficient of 6 x 10(-14) cm(-1) Hz(-1/2), the lowest which has been reported in a CRDS measurement. It is shown that heterodyne-detected CRDS also reaches the quantum noise limit at reasonable optical powers. In addition to offering ultra-high sensitivity, this technique provides high frequency agility over a range of 2 THz in the near-infrared, which allows entire absorption bands to be recorded in minutes. As a demonstration experiment, high resolution spectra of a near-infrared carbon dioxide band have been recorded.
