Deuterated triglycine sulfate (abbreviated DTGS) is a common ferroelectric infrared detector material. Explain how it works.
(a) In the cavity ring-down measurement at the opening of this chapter, absorbance is given by whereis the length of the triangular path in the cavity, Cis the speed of light, Tis the ring-down lifetime with sample in the cavity, and is the ring-down lifetime with no sample in the cavity. Ring-down lifetime is obtained by fitting the observed ring-down signal intensityto an exponential decay of the form , whereis the initial intensity and t is time. A measurement ofis made at a wavelength absorbed by the molecule. The ring-down lifetime for 21.0-cm-1 along empty cavity is andfor a cavity containing.role="math" localid="1664865078479" Find the absorbance ofat this wavelength.

(b) The ring-down spectrum below arises from and from of methane in outdoor air at 0.13. The spectrum arises from individual rotational transitions of the ground vibrational state to a second excited C-H)vibrational state of the molecule. (i) Explain what quantity is plotted on the ordinate ( Y-axis). (ii) The peak foris at. What is the wavelength of this peak in? What is the name of the spectral region where this peak is found?

Describe three general types of noise that have a different dependence on frequency. Give an example of the source of each kind of noise.
Which variables increase the resolution of a grating? Which variables increase the dispersion of the grating? How is the blaze angle chosen to optimize a grating for a particular wavelength?
