Application of a Widely Tunable Near-Infrared Laser Instrument for Stable Isotope Ratio Measurements

Résumé

In this paper, we report on the development and the application of a widely tunable near-infrared laser spectrometer for trace gas and isotope analysis. The spectrometer was based on fiber-coupled continuous-wave (cw) Telecom external cavity laser (ECDL, Tunics Plus) that is continuously tunable from 1500 to 1640 nm (C and L band) with an output power up to 3 mW and a tuning resolution of 0.001 nm (∼4×10−3 cm−1). The effective laser linewidth is less than 1 MHz. A multipass cell (New Focus – model 5612) in Herriott configuration with an optical path of 100 m was used to enhance the detection sensitivity. The developed instrument has been used for isotopic composition analysis in wood-based combustion emission and in human breath. In a wood-based combustion, the measured 13C/12C isotope ratio in CO2 emission is found to be (1.1011±0.0040) % for the full burn operation regime. The corresponding δ-value relative to PDB standard is (-20.17±3.53) % ̧ that is in good agreement with the typical value of (-25±2) % ̧for wood.
