Open-path measurement of stable water isotopologues using mid-infrared dual-comb spectroscopy

September 8, 2023
Author(s)
Daniel Herman, Griffin Mead, Fabrizio Giorgetta, Esther Baumann, Nathan Malarich, Brian Washburn, Nathan R. Newbury, Ian Coddington, Kevin Cossel
We present an open-path mid-infrared dual-comb spectrometer (DCS) capable of precise measurement of the stable water isotopologues H216O and HD16O. This system runs in a remote configuration at a rural test site with high uptime and achieves a precision of

Dual-Comb Spectroscopy of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Across a 14.5 km Long Outdoor Path

September 1, 2023
Author(s)
Fabrizio Giorgetta, Esther Baumann, Brian Washburn, Nathan Malarich, Jean-Daniel Deschenes, Ian Coddington, Nathan Newbury, Kevin Cossel
Greenhouse-gas dual-comb spectroscopy is extended to a city-scale 14.5-km path length using remote receiver and data acquisition. This configuration enables lower link losses and longer path lengths compared to folded paths with a remote retroreflector

MODELLING AND REMOVING DIGITIZER NONLINEARITY FOR ACCURATE DUAL FREQUENCY COMB SPECTROSCOPY

August 15, 2023
Author(s)
Nathan Malarich, Kevin Cossel, JEAN-DANIEL DESCHENES, Fabrizio Giorgetta, Brian Washburn, Nathan Newbury, Ian Coddington, Jerome Genest
Operation of any dual-comb spectrometer requires digitization of the interference signal before further processing. Nonlinearities in the analog-to-digital conversion can alter the apparent gas concentration by multiple percent, limiting both precision and

Extending Dual-Comb Spectroscopy Path Length to 14.5 km by Separating Receiver from Transmitter

June 1, 2023
Author(s)
Fabrizio Giorgetta, Esther Baumann, Brian Washburn, Nathan Malarich, J.-D. Deschenes, Ian Coddington, Nathan Newbury, Kevin Cossel
We present dual-comb spectroscopy across a 14.5-km path using remote receiver and data acquisition. This configuration results in lower link losses compared to open-path configurations with co-located transmitter and receiver.

Validation of open-path dual-comb spectroscopy against an O2 background

January 30, 2023
Author(s)
Nathan Malarich, Brian Washburn, Kevin Cossel, Fabrizio Giorgetta, Griffin Mead, Daniel Herman, Nathan R. Newbury, Ian Coddington
Dual-comb spectroscopy measures greenhouse gas concentrations over kilometer-length open-air paths with high precision. However, characterizing the absolute accuracy of these outdoor measurements is challenging, as most gas species have fluctuating

Remote sensing using open-path dual-comb spectroscopy

January 1, 2021
Author(s)
Kevin Cossel, Eleanor M. Waxman, Esther Baumann, Fabrizio Giorgetta, Brian Washburn, Caroline Alden, Sean Coburn
Open-path dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) is an emerging technique for long open-path measurements across km-scale paths. It provides both broad spectral coverage over hundreds of wavenumbers with high spectral resolution and negligible instrument lineshape
