Abstract

Cavity ring-down (CRD) spectroscopy represents a direct absorption technique of sample absorption measurement. Instead of measuring the amount of the absorbed light, this technique determines the rate at which light intensity decays inside an optical cavity. When using a pulsed or continuous-wave light source, CRD spectroscopy offers considerably higher sensitivity as compared with conventional spectroscopy of absorption, making even very weak absorptions easy to detect.
