Abstract
A theoretical model of wavelength modulation spectroscopy that uses a laser diode on a Lorentzian absorption line is presented. This theory describes the general case of a current-modulated semiconductor laser, for which a combined intensity and frequency modulation with an arbitrary phase shift occurs. On the basis of this model, the effect of several modulation parameters on the detected signals is evaluated. Experimental signals measured on an absorption line of CO2 by use of a 2-microm distributed-feedback laser are also presented and validate this analysis. These experimental results agree with the calculated signals, confirming the relevance of the model.

Simultaneous Measurements of CO and CO2 Employing Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy Using a Signal Averaging Technique at 1.578 μm

TL;DR: A resolved line pair was selected for simultaneous measurement of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the near-infrared (NIR) region and it is demonstrated that the signal is highly linear with the concentration in the range of 100–800 ppm.

Recovery of Absolute Absorption Line Shapes in Tunable Diode Laser Spectroscopy Using External Amplitude Modulation With Balanced Detection

TL;DR: In this article, a method based on a modification to the Hobbs balanced receiver circuit was proposed for background signal nulling when external amplitude modulation of the laser output is used. And the method significantly improved the signal-to-noise ratio to a level comparable with that of the conventional second harmonic wavelength modulation spectroscopy.

Frequency modulation and wavelength modulation spectroscopies:comparison of experimental methods using a lead-salt diode laser

TL;DR: Both of the FMS methods, which require modulating the laser at frequencies >/= 150 MHz, give relatively poor results due to inefficient coupling of the modulation waveform to the laser current, and the re ults obtained agree well with theory.
