    Tunable diode laser frequency modulation spectroscopy through an optical fiber: High-sensitivity detection of water vapor (1990)
    Woodbury, NY : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Applied Physics Letters 56 (1990), S. 805-807 
    Details
    ISSN: 1077-3118
    Source: AIP Digital Archive
    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Frequency modulation spectroscopy through a single-mode optical fiber has been demonstrated for monitoring H2O vapor at 7665 cm−1. Using a 2.5 mW distributed feedback laser and 100 m of optical fiber, a minimum detectable absorption of 5×10−7 was achieved. To obtain this sensitivity limit, very large spurious signals and technical noise were suppressed using a dual-channel detection scheme.
