title: Diode laser absorption measurements of CH(3)Cl and CH(4) near 1.65 microm.
abstract: Two distributed-feedback (InGaAsP) diode lasers were used to record high-resolution absorption spectra of the parallel and the perpendicular components of the 2nu(4) band of methyl chloride (CH(3)Cl) and the 2nu(3) band of methane (CH(4)) near 1.65 mum. The room-temperature absorption measurements, which were conducted in a multipass cell with a variable path length (878-1020 cm), were used to determine the mole fractions of the constituent gases and thus demonstrate species-specific, nonintrusive concentration measurements of species with overlapping spectra.
