Popis: A simple but highly effective method for enhancement of spontaneous Raman scattering from gases is described. It employs a multimode blue laser diode that receives feedback from a near-concentric bidirectional multipass cavity in such a way as to generate a circulating power on the order of 100 W for a sample volume of 10 m m 3 . The feedback, provided via a volume Bragg grating, reduces the laser bandwidth to 4 c m − 1 . Spectra of spontaneous Raman scattering from ambient atmospheric air, detected collinearly with the pump, were recorded with a limit of detection below 1 ppm. The performance of the setup is further illustrated through detection of acetone, methane, and isotopic carbon dioxide in breath.
