Abstract
Mid-infrared tuneable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) realized with photonic integrated circuits (PICs) has the potential to create small and portable sensing devices with exceptional sensitivity. Here we present a photonic crystal (PhC) W5 waveguide-based sensor, which provides stronger interaction between the light and the analyte than a free space beam, as well as low scattering and material absorption losses. We demonstrate its performance by analysing the transmission spectra of two CO2 isotopes at 4345 nm.
