Abstract :
Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) has been identified as having significant potential for Homeland Security Remote Sensing applications. Portability, robustness and economy are significant factors in the development of new sensor architectures. A significant factor in new sensor architectures is cavity length. A prior publication has examined the role of cavity length in sensing modality. This document addresses the experimental apparatus, data analysis, and results that pertain to the impact of non-standard cavity length on the sensor.
