Abstract

Improved cavity ring down spectroscopy is provided by binning decay time vs. wavelength data into wavelength bins defined by discontinuities in a wavelength monitor signal. Average decay times and average wavelengths are computed for each bin. The optical loss of a target analyte at the average wavelengths is determined from the corresponding average decay times.
