contents This paper investigates three spectroscopic techniques - Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy (WMS), and Heterodyne Phase Sensitive Dispersion Spectroscopy (HPSDS) - to evaluate their performance in detecting carbon monoxide (CO) in nitrogen in a 31 m Herriot cell using an Interband Cascade Laser (ICL) emitting at 4559 nm. With the developed spectrometer, we can switch between the techniques with minimal hardware modifications. Calibration curves were established using simple peak-to-peak values from the recorded TDLAS, WMS, and HSPDS spectra, as well as after applying respective spectral models of the sensor responses followed by a least-squares fitting approach. We compare the results when using the different techniques with respect to obtained linearity, minimum detectable value (MDV), standard deviation of the method (sx0), coefficient of variation of the method (Vx0), limit of detection (LOD), and Allan-Werle deviation analysis. The results show significant differences in the performance of the three techniques when establishing calibration curves based on peak-to-peak evaluation of the recorded spectra. However, when establishing model-based calibration curves, a more uniform performance of the investigated techniques was found. The results demonstrate that TDLAS is a straightforward and robust technique but has a limited measurement range of up to 65 ppm. WMS offers a linear range of up to 100 ppm if an appropriate spectral model is applied and a baseline-free operation but requires careful calibration. HPSDS stands out for its wide linear range of up to 100 ppm and immunity to power fluctuations. However, its operation requires a complex mathematical model and radio frequency (RF) components.
