Abstract The tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy under a pulse wavelength scan scheme is adapted to home-made room-temperature mid-infrared distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers; and identification of N2O spectral fingerprint is demonstrated experimentally. By driving the laser at 800ns pulse duration, a wave number tuning of about 1.6cm-1 is produced, which make both 1289.04cm-1 and 1289.86cm-1 absorption fingerprints of N2O gas to be definitely assigned. The measured relative absorption intensity is consistent with the HITRAN data precisely.
