Resonant Cavity–Enhanced Photodiodes for Spectroscopy of CH Bonds

Resonant cavity-enhanced photodiodes targeted within the spectral region of absorption by C-H bonds are demonstrated. The 3.0 – 3.3 μm region of the infrared spectrum contains many substances that are useful to measure spectroscopically. However, the measurement of individual substances requires a high spectral specificity, that is achieved by the resonant cavity photodiodes with spectral response widths of
