Frequency-agile, rapid scanning spectroscopy requires no mechanical motion and provides a scanning rate of 8 kHz per cavity mode at a sensitivity of ∼2 × 10-12 cm-1 Hz-1/2, with a scanning range that exceeds 70 GHz. This technique is promising for fast and sensitive trace gas measurements and chemical kinetic studies.
