Pulsed quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with 6.2-mu m and 8-mu m wavelengths and a differential photoacoustic (PA) detector were used to measure concentrations of NO2 and N2O in the sub-ppmv range at ambient pressure. The QCL temperatures were tuned between -40 degrees C and 30 degrees C. Good agreement was found between measured PA vibrational spectra and simulated HITRAN spectra of both nitrogen oxides. The PA signals showed a linear dependence on the concentration in the investigated 0.5-50 ppmv region in both cases. The results for N2O are compared with a PA measurement of N2O at 2.9 mu m using a grazing-incidence optical parametric oscillator.
