Popis: Over the last decade, Continuous-Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CW-CRDS) has gained growing acceptance and become a field-proven trace gas measurement technique widely used in industry and at major national metrology institutes. The technology has shown remarkable diversity, being used in applications ranging from ultra-clean semiconductor fabs to harsh and dirty coal-fired boilers. Here we will present our newest developments for three very different applications: 1) continuous emissions monitoring of hydrogen chloride in stack emissions of cement and coal-fired power plants with very dirty sample gas; 2) trace moisture measurement in ultra-high purity ammonia for LED and semiconductor manufacturing, a spectroscopically challenging matrix; and, 3) detection of impurities in cryogenic liquids by adapting CW-CRDS to very cold temperatures.
