Abstract :
We present accurate water isotope ratio measurements using DFB diode lasers in laboratory based studies in biomedicine, paleoclimatology (ice-cores), and ecology (plant leave water), to airborne, in-situ, stratospheric measurements using optical-feedback cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy.
