contents In this study, we demonstrated the direct use of an inherently narrowband backward wave in the mid-infrared for CO$_2$ and H$_2$O vapor spectroscopy in ambient air. This wave is generated in a backward wave optical parametric oscillator (BWOPO) pumped by a multi longitudinal mode laser at 1030 nm, eliminating the need for additional spectral narrowing or wavelength stabilization. A full characterization of the source is presented, revealing a central output at 2712 nm, showcasing temperature tuning of -1.77 GHz/K, and achieving an output pulse energy of 2.3 $μ$J. Novel methods are introduced for measuring the linewidth and wavelength stability using lab air. These approaches demonstrate a narrow output of 43 pm and establish an upper limit of stability at 65 MHz, with no active means of stabilization. These findings underscore the potential of BWOPOs as a robust platform for future DIAL systems.
