Abstract

In this study, we present the design and fabrication of a V-shaped resonator that served as an absorption chamber in a laser spectroscopy system for water stable isotope measurement (2H, 17O, 18O) based on optical feedback cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy. In the design of a resonator, its length and the radius of curvature of the mirrors guarantee the optical stability of the system. The resonator mirrors are designed considering the condition of stability and based on the desired mode structure of the resonator output. The V-shaped resonator is designed with two arms of 40 cm and inner diameters of 5 mm making an angle of 1.7°. This resonator has an internal volume of 20 cm3 which provides fast response of laser spectrometer. The high reflectivity of mirrors leads to an effective absorption optical path length of 13 km and a high finesse optical resonator of   Ƒ~52،000. These values allow low concentration water vapor isotope analyses and resolution of the absorption spectrum of isotopes for accurate isotope measurements, respectively. Resonator mirrors are designed using Mcleod software to have maximum reflectance at a wavelength of 1.4 micrometers. By making a V-shaped optical resonator for measuring stable isotopes of water and subsequent development for measuring stable isotopes of other elements, the possibility of developing the application of stable isotopes in different areas of research will be provided.
