Data set from peer-reviewed publication: D. M. Bailey et al., Precision spectroscopy of nitrous oxide isotopocules with a cross-dispersed spectrometer and a mid-infrared frequency comb, Analytical Chemistry, 92, 13759-13766 (2020).
As a potent greenhouse gas and an ozone depleting agent, nitrous oxide (N2O) plays a critical role in the global climate. Effective mitigation relies on understanding global sources and sinks, which can be supported through isotopic analysis. We present a cross-dispersed spectrometer, coupled with a mid-infrared frequency comb, capable of simultaneously monitoring all singly substituted, stable isotopic variants of N2O. Rigorous evaluation of the instrument lineshape function and data treatment using a Doppler-broadened, low-pressure gas sample are discussed. Laboratory characterization of the spectrometer demonstrates sub-GHz spectral resolution and an average precision of 6.7 x 10^{-6} for fractional isotopic abundance retrievals in 1 s.
