Broad-band cavity ring-down spectroscopy
Article Abstract:
A brief review of the fundamentals of 'traditional' cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) using essentially monochromatic light sources and the use of such techniques in quantifying weak absorptions is given. With the help of differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) technique it is demonstrated that broad-band instruments offers substantial potential for the measurements of important trace species in the atmosphere.

Isotopes of volatile organic compounds: an emerging approach for studying atmospheric budgets and chemistry
Article Abstract:
The rapid development of the use of carbon isotopes to study atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) highlights the power of isotopic information to constrain atmospheric budgets and provide information on atmospheric processing. Atmospheric stable isotope measurements and kinetic isotope effects can also be used to study larger scale photochemistry.
