“…Over the last two decades, dual-comb spectroscopy [12] has developed into a powerful tool for applications requiring fast temporal resolution, high spectral accuracy, and broad spectral coverage. It has enabled difficult or previously impossible measurements, such as multispecies trace gas detection in open-path [13], monitoring of irreversible processes with micro-second resolution [2], hyperspectral 3D imaging [14], and fast determination of isotope ratios of multiple species [15]. Moreover, photonic chip integrated comb sources such as microcombs [4], quantum cascade lasers (QCL) [1], and interband cascade lasers [5], are potential game-changers, by enabling mass-producible integrated gas sensors for demanding fields, such as health, security, environment, and industrial process monitoring.…”
