Sensing atmospheric reactive species using light emitting diode by incoherent broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy

Abstract

We overview our recent progress in the developments and applications of light emitting diode-based incoherent broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (LED-IBBCEAS) techniques for real-time optical sensing chemically reactive atmospheric species (HONO, NO₃, NO₂) in intensive campaigns and in atmospheric simulation chamber. New application of optical monitoring of NO₃ concentration-time profile for study of the NO₃-initiated oxidation process of isoprene in a smog chamber is reported.
