摘要：
An infrared absorption spectrometer has been constructed to measure the stable isotopic composition of atmospheric methane samples. The spectrometer employs periodically poled lithium niobate to generate 15 LW of tunable difference-frequency radiation from two near-infrared diode lasers that probe the nu(3) rotational-vibrational band of methane at 3.4 mu m. To enhance the signal, methane is extracted from 25 1 of air by use of a cryogenic chromatographic column and is expanded into the multipass cell for analysis. A measurement precision of 12 parts per thousand is demonstrated for both delta C-13 and delta D. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.
