Isotopic resolution of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide by NIR diode laser spectroscopy
- Near-infrared (NIR) absorption spectroscopy with tunable diode lasers allows the simultaneous detection of the three most important isotopologues of carbon dioxide (<SUP>12</SUP>CO<SUB>2</SUB>, <SUP>13</SUP>CO<SUB>2</SUB>, <SUP>12</SUP>C<SUP>18</SUP>O<SUP>16</SUP>O) and carbon monoxide (<SUP>12</SUP>CO, <SUP>13</SUP>CO, <SUP>12</SUP>C<SUP>18</SUP>O). The flexible and compact fiber-optic tunable diode laser absorption spectrometer (TDLAS) allows selective measurements of CO<SUB>2</SUB> and CO with high isotopic resolution without sample preparation since there is no interference with water vapour. For each species, linear calibration plots with a dynamic range of four orders of magnitude and detection limits (LOD) in the range of a few ppm were obtained utilizing wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) with balanced detection in a Herriott-type multipass cell. The high performance of the apparatus is illustrated by fill-evacuation-refill cycles.
