Popis: We report the saturation spectroscopy of carbon dioxide inside a hollow glass waveguide (GW) using a tunable mid-infrared difference frequency generation (DFG) source. This DFG source was generated in a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal with a tuning range from 3.97 to 4. 71 μ m . Saturated spectroscopy was performed on the R(60) transition of CO 2 0001 ← 0000 band at 4. 2 μ m inside a hollow GW of diameter 300 μ m and length 1 m. The saturation dip signal was found with a pump power as low as 0.18 mW inside the hollow GW. The linewidth of the dip was determined to be 4.40 MHz.
