Optical Trapping-Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy System for Single Aerosol Particle Measurements

Abstract

This project is funded to acquire a laser system to be used for study of physical and chemical properties of single aerosol particles trapped in air using the optical trapping-cavity ringdown spectroscopy (OT-CRDS) technique. The acquired laser system consists of a pumping laser that is an Nd:YAG laser from Continuum Lasers (USA) and a narrow linewidth dye laser from Radiant Dye Laser (Germany). The Nd:YAG pumped dye laser system has built-in second harmonic and third harmonic generations to create a UV laser beam down to 200 nm.
