 Title: PRIMARY THERMOMETRY FROM A CO2 OVERTONE LINE VIA COMB-ASSISTED CAVITY-RING-DOWN SPECTROSCOPY Author(s): Gotti, Riccardo Contributor(s): Marangoni, Marco; Gianfrani, Livio; Laporta, Paolo; Galzerano, Gianluca; Castrillo, Antonio; Gatti, Davide; Moretti, Luigi Subject(s): Mini-symposium: Frequency-Comb Spectroscopy Abstract: We provide the most accurate absolute temperature measurement ever performed on an atomic or molecular sample with a Doppler-Broadening-Thermometry approach. Specifically, the absorption profile of the P$_e$(12) line of the (30012) - (00001) band of a \chem{CO_2} sample at thermodynamic equilibrium is accurately measured at 1.578 $\mu$m by a comb-assisted cavity-ring-down spectrometer that combines an extremely dense frequency axis (3000 points over 4.2 GHz) with an acquisition time as low as a few seconds. The Doppler width is extracted from a refined multi-spectrum fitting procedure accounting for the speed dependence of the relaxation rates, which were found to play a role even at the very low pressures explored, from 1 to 7 Pa. The thermodynamic gas temperature is retrieved with relative uncertainties of 8·10$^{-6}$ (type A) and 11 ·10$^{-6}$ (type B), which rank the system at the first place among optical methods. Thanks to a measurement time of only ~5 h, the technique represents a promising pathway towards the optical determination of the thermodynamic temperature with a global uncertainty at the 10$^{-6}$ level \footnote{Gotti R., Moretti L., Gatti D., Galzerano G., Castrillo A., Laporta P., Gianfrani L., and Marangoni M., Phys. Rev. A 97, 12512 (2018)}. An additional element of interest derives from the forthcoming redefinition of the unit Kelvin \footnote{J. Fischer, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 374, 20150038 (2016)}, in 2018, which calls for primary thermometers that are capable to operate over a large part of the temperature scale with very high accuracy.
