Abstract

Earth’s atmosphere is a mixture of many gases which include pollutants such as SO₂, NO₂, NO, and O₃ that have absorption in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelength region. Therefore, the development of broadband UV laser sources that are useful in a differential absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) system for environmental research is necessary. In this research, we present the DOAS system using the Ce:LiCAF laser for determining SO₂ gas concentration in the atmosphere. The Ce:LiCAF laser has a full width at half maximum of 2 nm with a wavelength range from 286 to 291 nm and a peak wavelength of 288.5 nm. The results show that the DOAS system accurately determines the gas concentration with a measurement error of 6 %. This result can serve as the basis for developing practical DOAS systems with the ability to monitor a wide range of gasses and survey many other types of pollutants.
