<p>The use of high reflectivity dielectric mirrors to form a high finesse optical cavity allows one to achieve long optical path lengths of up to several kilometres for high-sensitivity spectroscopy applications [1]. However, the high reflectivity of a dielectric mirror is achieved via constructive interference of the Fresnel reflection at the interfaces produced by multilayer coatings of alternate high and low refractive index materials. This wavelength-dependent coating limits the bandwidth of the mirror's high reflectivity to only a few percent of the designed central wavelength [2].</p><p>In this paper, we report on the development of a novel optical cavity based on prism used as cavity reflector through total internal reflection combined with Brewster angle incidence [3], which offers a high-finesse optical cavity operating in a broadband wavelength region from 400 to longer than 1600 nm. Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy (CEAS) of NO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>3</sub>, and H<sub>2</sub>O vapor was applied to determine the achieved prism reflectivity over a broad spectral range from 400 nm to 1600 nm.</p><p>Experimental details and preliminary results will be presented. The developed prism-based cavity is specifically adapted for the needs of broadband measurement of multi-molecular absorber or/and wavelength-dependent extinction coefficient of aerosols over a broad spectral region.</p><p>Acknowledgments.
