Abstract

Cavity ringdown spectroscopy is a powerful technique for detecting reactive chemical intermediates in a variety of circumstances. The characterization of the ethyl peroxy radical in a variety of ways using different ringdown techniques is used as an example to illustrate the diverse capabilities. Several results are discussed including the room temperature, moderate resolution \(\widetilde{A}\)–\(\widetilde{X}\) spectrum and the jet-cooled, rotationally resolved \(\widetilde{A}\)–\(\widetilde{X}\) spectrum of ethyl peroxy. The concept of dual wavelength cavity ringdown spectroscopy is explored and its utility is demonstrated by a measurement of the \(\widetilde{A}\)–\(\widetilde{X}\) absorption cross section of ethyl peroxy. The self-reaction kinetics of ethyl peroxy are also studied by means of cavity ringdown spectroscopy with a continuous source. The capability of CRDS to measure dynamical effects is illustrated by work on a closely related radical, hydroxy ethyl peroxy radical.
