Abstract :
In this paper, we demonstrate the use of fiber-optic tunable diode laser spectrometer within the thermal tuning range from 1581 nm to 1584 nm a CO/CO2 absorption line pair with a frequency separation of 3.65 GHz between the line centers for the measurements of CO and CO2 concentrations inside the sealed CO2 laser tubes.
