Abstract

In this paper several detection techniques of laser spectroscopy are presented which are illustrated by some examples. They are either based on modified absorption spectroscopy with frequency- or wavelength modulation, on opto-acoustic and opto-thermal spectroscopy, on laser-induced fluorescence or on resonant two-photon ionization. Their advantages and limitations are discussed and possible further improvements are proposed. They are illustrated by several examples, such as overtone spectroscopy of ozone O₃, carbon disulfid CS₂, opto-acoustic spectroscopy of carbonyl sulfid OCS, by Doppler-free opto-thermal spectroscopy of ethylen C₂H₄ and by Doppler-free laser spectroscopy of the small alkali trimers Li₃ and Na₃ detected by resonant two photon ionization.
