Here we describe a novel infrared laser-induced fluorescence scheme for the 1s(2) state of Ar-I using an 841.052 nm (vacuum) Sacher tunable diode laser oscillator and compare it to an established 667.913 nm (vacuum) 1s(4)-pumping Ar-I LIF scheme using a master oscillator power amplifier laser [A. M. Keesee et al. Rev. Sci. Instrum. 75, 4091 (2004)]. The novel scheme exhibits a significantly greater signal-to-noise ratio for a given injected laser power than the established scheme. We argue that this is caused by less intense spontaneous Ar-I radiation near the LIF emission wavelength for the 1s(2) scheme as compared to the 1s(4) scheme. In addition we present an updated iodine cell spectrum around the 1s(4) LIF scheme pump wavelength. (C) 2016 AIP Publishing LLC.
