Title: Trace gas detection with 2-photon, 2-color, cavity ring-down spectroscopy

Abstract

In one aspect, a method of detecting a trace gas is disclosed. The method includes containing the trace gas in an optical cavity. The method further includes injecting a first laser light from a first laser into the optical cavity causing the trace gas to transition from an energy state lower that a first excited energy state to the first excited energy state, and injecting a second laser light from a second laser into the optical cavity causing the trace gas to transition from the first excited energy state to a second excited energy state. The method includes measuring, by a detector, a first cavity ringdown intensity as a function of time after turning off the second laser with the first laser on, and a second cavity ringdown intensity as a function of time after turning off the second laser with the first laser off.
