Abstract: Cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy systems and methods for detecting trace gases. When the frequency of laser light approaches the frequency of a resonance cavity mode, the laser begins to fill the cavity to that mode. Optical intensity inside the cavity reflects total cavity loss when the laser light frequency coincides with the cavity mode transmission peak. The intra-cavity optical power also depends on the coupling efficiency of the laser beam to the particular cavity mode. Measurement of intensities of three optical signals, namely, intensity of the light incident on to the cavity, intensity of the light reflected from the cavity, and intensity of the intra-cavity optical power, with their appropriate normalization advantageously significantly reduce effects of baseline calibration and drift as the normalized signal only depends on total cavity loss, and not the coupling efficiency, as in traditional approaches.
