Abstract

The commercial availability of laser diodes emitting in the blue spectral region offer excellent opportunity for using them in the detection of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) gas. Nitrogen dioxide, which is one of the main air pollutants, has strong light absorption cross-section in the blue spectral region. In this paper, a tunable blue diode laser in Littrow external-cavity configuration is investigated. The output power, spectral line-width and tunable range are measured. The results will be used to select a suitable external cavity diode laser (ECDL) system based on a multimode blue laser diode to be employed for the detection of NO₂ gas.
