Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Development and applications of advanced spectroscopic techniques have become a hot topic in recent years. With the emergence of the novel light sources from ultraviolet to the far-infrared region, such as quantum cascade lasers, interband cascade lasers, diode lasers, light emitting diodes, optical frequency combs, supercontinuum sources and so on, modern spectroscopy (for example, cavity ring down/enhanced spectroscopy, frequency/wavelength modulation spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, and frequency comb/dual comb spectroscopy) have realized selective, interference-free, and real-time measurements with high sensitivities of sub-ppbv (10-9) levels and fast time responses down to a few microseconds (µs). These sensitive and real-time/time-resolved spectroscopic techniques can be applied to measure trace gases, atmospheric aerosols, isotopologues and free radicals, so as to study high-resolution molecule spectroscopy, vertical atmospheric profiles, atmospheric chemistry, chemical reaction dynamics, flux or eddy covariances, breath analysis and other open scientific questions. The existing spectroscopic techniques have obtained remarkable achievements in both instrument development and applications, but they still face unresolved issues. Nevertheless, higher sensitivity, better temporal resolution, longer stability, and long-term reproducibility, as well as novel methods and new attractive application areas, are the permanent challenges for the development of spectroscopic techniques.

In this Special Issue, we focus on the recent progress in the development of advanced spectroscopy techniques and their applications. Our goal is to report and summarize the latest research and developments in the updated theory, better measurement, and new applications for existing or new spectroscopic techniques.

We are looking forward to your contributions (reviews as well as original research papers).

The absolute absorption cross-section of the ethyl peroxy radical C2H5O2 in the Ã←X˜ electronic transition with the peak wavelength at 7596 cm−1 has been determined by the method of dual wavelengths time resolved continuous wave cavity ring down spectroscopy. C2H5O2 radicals were generated from pulsed 351 nm photolysis of C2H6/Cl2 mixture in presence of 100 Torr O2 at T = 295 K. C2H5O2 radicals were detected on one of the CRDS paths. Two methods have been applied for the determination of the C2H5O2 absorption cross-section: (i) based on Cl-atoms being converted alternatively to either C2H5O2 by adding C2H6 or to hydro peroxy radicals, HO2, by adding CH3OH to the mixture, whereby HO2 was reliably quantified on the second CRDS path in the 2ν1 vibrational overtone at 6638.2 cm−1 (ii) based on the reaction of C2H5O2 with HO2, measured under either excess HO2 or under excess C2H5O2 concentration. Both methods lead to the same peak absorption cross-section for C2H5O2 at 7596 cm−1 of σ = (1.0 ± 0.2) × 10−20 cm2. The rate constant for the cross reaction between of C2H5O2 and HO2 has been measured to be (6.2 ± 1.5) × 10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. Full article

Vernier spectroscopy is a frequency comb-based technique employing optical cavities for filtering of the comb and for enhancement of the interaction length with the sample. Depending on the ratio of the cavity free spectral range and the comb repetition rate, the cavity transmits either widely spaced individual comb lines (comb-resolved Vernier spectroscopy) or groups of comb lines, called Vernier orders (continuous-filtering Vernier spectroscopy, CF-VS). The cavity filtering enables the use of low-resolution spectrometers to resolve the individual comb lines or Vernier orders. Vernier spectroscopy has been implemented using various near- and mid-infrared comb sources for applications ranging from trace gas detection to precision spectroscopy. Here, we present the principles of the technique and provide a review of previous demonstrations of comb-resolved and continuous-filtering Vernier spectroscopy. We also demonstrate two new implementations of CF-VS: one in the mid-infrared, based on a difference frequency generation comb source, with a new and more robust detection system design, and the other in the near-infrared, based on a Ti:sapphire laser, reaching high sensitivity and the fundamental resolution limit of the technique.
