✦ Synopsis


Cavity ring-down spectroscopy has been used to measure the absorbance of methyl radicals near 216 nm. The methyl radicals are generated by a hot tungsten filament heated to 2300 K in a mixture of 0.5% CH 4 in H~ slowly flowing through the reactor at 20 Torr total pressure. CH 3 absorbances are detected with a noise-equivalent sensitivity of two parts in 105 using a narrow pencil of UV light 0.5 mm in diameter, which allows measurement of spatial profiles of CH 3 for column densities of 3 Γ— 1012 radicals/cm 2 (3 x 1012 radicals/era 3 Γ— 1 cm absorption pathlength).

In a cavity ring down experiment the multi-mode structure of a short resonant cavity has been explicitly manipulated to allow a high spectral resolution, which is advantageous for the overall detection sensitivity as well. Coherent cavity ring down spectroscopy is performed around 298 nm on OH in a

## Abstract The thermal decomposition rate of N~2~O~5~ in 760 Torr of air as a function of temperature between 314 and 348 K has been investigated using the technique of pulsed laser cavity ring‐down spectroscopy (CRDS) detection of NO~3~ radicals at 662 nm. The Arrhenius expression of the thermal
