Abstract

Cavity-Enhanced Absorption Spectrometry has proved to be a valuable analytical method for trace gas quantification. We will present an overview of the technology and its application to environmental sensing, fundamental research, and industrial problems. Specific topics will include greenhouse gas monitoring, water isotope determination for hydrological applications, airborne deployments, deep-sea gas measurements, and spectroscopy. Potential future applications will also be discussed.
