We present the development, integration, and testing of an open-path cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) methane sensor for deployment on small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). The open-path configuration used here (without pump or flow-cell) enables a low mass (4 kg) and low power (12 W) instrument

Liquid phase sensing applications at 1550 nm are highly desirable due to widely available off-the-shelf components. Generally, liquids at 1550 nm induce a high absorption loss that limits the overall sensor's sensitivity and detection limit. One solution is to use an active fiber loop in conjunction with cavity ring down spectroscopy to overcome these absorption losses. However, the amplifier

Multipass laser spectrometers have demonstrated MDAL down to 10 -9 cm -1, but they still remain limited by laser intensity fluctuations and interference fringes. As with NDIR and FTIR methods, standard multipass techniques rely on measuring the ratio of the absorbed to the incident light to determine the sample absorption. Cavity ring

Cavity ring-down spectroscopy~CRDS! is a new laser absorption technique that has the potential for the quantita-tive detection of atomic and molecular species with a high sensitivity, comparable to photoacoustic spectroscopy. CRDS was first demonstrated by O'Keefe and Deacon in 1988.1 In

The technique is based upon the measurement of the rate of absorption rather than the magnitude of absorption of a light pulse confined within a closed optical cavity. The decay of the light intensity within the cavity is a simple exponential with loss components due to mirror loss, broadband scatter (Rayleigh, Mie), and molecular absorption.
