Optical saturation effects in intracavity Faraday modulation spectroscopy (INFAMOS)
We report on the observation of saturation effects in Intracavity Faraday Modulation Spectroscopy (INFAMOS). A quantum cascade laser operating at ∼5.3 μm is used to probe the 2Π3/2 and 2Π1/2 R(3.5) transitions in the fundamental band of nitric oxide. With average intracavity intensities up to 450 W...

| description | We report on the observation of saturation effects in Intracavity Faraday Modulation Spectroscopy (INFAMOS). A quantum cascade laser operating at ∼5.3 μm is used to probe the 2Π3/2 and 2Π1/2 R(3.5) transitions in the fundamental band of nitric oxide. With average intracavity intensities up to 450 W cm−2, the saturation of these molecular transitions is observed up to a total pressure of ∼240 Torr. The experimental data are interpreted by incorporating saturation into a model for the INFAMOS line shape in the homogeneously broadened limit. |
