What Does CRD Stand For?
CRD stands for Cavity Ring Down
Cavity Ring Down (CRD) is a highly sensitive spectroscopic technique used to measure the concentration of trace gases and analyze molecular properties. This method involves trapping light within a optical cavity formed by highly reflective mirrors, allowing for the precise determination of absorption characteristics of the sample by monitoring the decay time of the light as it rings down in the cavity. CRD is widely applied in environmental monitoring, atmospheric science, and industrial processes due to its exceptional sensitivity and ability to detect low concentrations of pollutants.
