In the cavity, a series of mirrors reflects the infrared light through the sample, increasing the path length. For a Picarro cavity of only 25 cm in length, the effective path length of the cavity can be over 20 kilometers.
As the light circulates in a cavity with a gas sample, the molecular absorption by the gas results in a decrease of the light intensity. P/N 40-0047 Rev D PI2114 User Manual...
Picarro instruments gather measurements from an “empty” cavity by switching the light to wavelengths that are not absorbed by the target molecules. The analyzer subsequently measures ring-down times at wavelengths that are absorbed by the target gas.
Picarro analyzers calculate the baseline underneath a poorly resolved peak by modeling the absorption peaks from other surrounding molecules and subtracting contributions from neighboring peaks to the absorption intensity.

For precise pressure control, the cavity pressure is monitored using a high- linearity pressure transducer. The system computer uses this pressure data in a feedback loop to control proportional valves that adjust the inlet and outlet gas flow of the cavity. PI2114 User Manual P/N 40-0047 Rev D...

13. MAINTENANCE 13.1 Overview Picarro analyzers require minimal service or maintenance. Except for changing a particulate filter and cleaning, the analyzer is not user serviceable. 13.2 Filter Replacement Gasses are filtered by two in-line, sub-micron particulate filters before reaching the measurement cavity. Only one of these filters, the outer filter, is user- serviceable.
