In this work, we introduce polarimetric balanced detection as a new attenuated total reflection (ATR) infrared (IR) sensing scheme, leveraging unequal effective thicknesses achieved with laser light of different polarizations. We combined a monolithic widely tunable Vernier quantum cascade...Read More
