Cavity-enhanced mid-IR optical frequency comb spectroscopy: Enhanced time and spectral resolution

Cavity-Enhanced Direct Frequency Comb Spectroscopy has been applied to buffer gas cooled acetylene achieving a Doppler-limited spectral resolution of 90 MHz. Additionally Time Resolved Frequency Comb Spectroscopy allows for the detection of trans-DOCO in photolysis reaction kinetics with a molecular sensitivity of 10 10 cm −3 .
