“…Since the 1990s, optical spectroscopy techniques based on open-path have been employed to measure trace gas column concentrations, such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS). With sunlight, a lamp, or LEDs as the light source, researchers have developed FTIR and DOAS systems for measuring column concentrations of various trace gases simultaneously [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. However, the broadband light source is disadvantageous to the improvement of spectral resolution, which limits gas detection sensitivity.…”
