An instrument employing cavity ring-down (CRD) and cavity-enhanced detection (CED) for the local measurement of aerosol extinction is described and demonstrated. CRD measures the lifetime of photons in a high-quality optical cavity and thereby determines the sum of sample extinction between the cavity mirrors and that due to mirror losses. CRD systems can be calibrated with a single gas for the determination of extinction. A green laser emitting subnanosecond pulses is used as a light source, facilitating measurements free from optical interference in the cavity. The addition of a low-frequency chopper allows for the determination of extinction coefficients with simple linear fitting procedures and also facilitates CED measurements by providing laser power modulation for phase-sensitive detection. CED measures the average power transmitted by the optical cavity. After calibration with two gases, CED allows for the independent measurement of extinction with very high dynamic range and for an independent comparison with CRD measurements, thereby increasing confidence in the measurements. |
