Abstract
We have shown recently that unique optical signatures can be observed with the measurement of ultrashort middle infrared laser pulses that have been transmitted through molecular vapors. Here, we report on an increased signal-to-noise ratio of the pulse measurements by using a cross-correlation technique with a lockin amplifier. Carbon tetrafluoride and dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) cross-correlation signatures are highly discriminated using principal component analysis. A squared exponential Gaussian process regression model is used to quantitatively predict the concentration of DMMP.
