Study of a Mode Separation Due to Polarization Existing in a Cavity-Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy

A special phenomenon of resonance mode separation is observed during the study of a high sensitivity folded-cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy for the measurement of trace gases. The phenomenon affects the measurement of gas absorption spectrum in the cavity. This resonant mode separation pheno...

description A special phenomenon of resonance mode separation is observed during the study of a high sensitivity folded-cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy for the measurement of trace gases. The phenomenon affects the measurement of gas absorption spectrum in the cavity. This resonant mode separation phenomenon of the resonant cavity is different from the resonant modes previously observed in linear-cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy systems. To explore the mechanism of this phenomenon, a series of hypotheses are proposed. The most likely reason among these hypotheses is based on the different reflectance properties of the plane mirror at the fold of the cavity for S-polarized light and P-polarized light.
