Finesse and sensitivity gain in cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy of biomolecules in solution

Timothy McGarvey, André Conjusteau, and Hideo Mabuchi

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

We describe a ‘wet mirror’ apparatus for cw cavity-enhanced absorption measurements with Bacteriochlorophyll a (BChla) in solution and show that it achieves the full sensitivity gain (≈ 2.3 × 104) afforded by the finesse (3.4 × 104) and loss distribution of our optical resonator. This result provides an important proof-of-principle demonstration for solution-phase cavity-enhanced spectroscopy; straightforward extrapolation to a system with state-of-the-art low-loss mirrors and shot-noise-limited performance indicates that single molecule sensitivity in liquids is within reach of current technology. With the probe laser locked to the cavity resonance, our instrument achieves a sensitivity ≈ 3.4 × 10-8/√Hz (for a sample of length 1.75 mm) with 100 kHz bandwidth and can reliably detect sub-nM concentrations of BChla with 1 ms integration time.
