we designed and constructed vacuum chamber and vacuum system for measuring ambient NO concentration. The laser system of tunable dye laser pumped by 3rd harmonic of pulsed nd : YAG laser was constructed. The out-put of dye laser was doubled to excite NO molecule into single ro-vibronic level. The analysis of rotationnal temperature was done to determine rotational temperature to be 25 K under X/D of 70. we reconfirmed resonance enhanced two photon ionization (RETPI) process rom the laser power dependence experiment showing index of 1.75. we employed ion counting system for detection of ion signals to increase S/N ratio. we found almost of two order of magnitude improvement of sensitivity by replacement of detection system from analog-to-digital operation to ion counting operation. we confirmed linear response of ion signal with NO concentration up to 200 ppb. In the chemical. interference of NO_2, the sensitivity of NO_2 is ca.2% compared to that of NO.This shows the improvement of selectivity by the cooling process. The limit of detection was estimated to be 16 pptv with an integration time of 1 min.
