Project Highlight

In order to meet the needs of atmospheric scientists studying the radiative properties of the atmosphere as well as scientists and engineers developing the oxygen-iodine laser (COIL), LGR developed novel instrumentation based on near-IR cavity enhanced absorption to quantitatively measure the absolute concentration of singlet oxygen in the a1Δg state of O2 through the hitherto unobserved (1, 0) band of the b1Σg+ - a1Δg Noxon system. This novel approach allows for the detection of singlet O2 with unsurpassed sensitivity and accuracy as well the quantitative measurement of absorption cross-sections and rotational temperature.
