Possibility of hard-target lidar detection of a biogenic volatile organic compound, alpha-pinene gas, over forest areas
(2001) In Applied Optics 40(21). p.3572-3574- Abstract
- The absorption spectrum of alpha -pinene gas, a biogenic volatile organic compound, was directly measured with a pulsed mid-infrared laser. The maximum absorption wavelength was found to be similar to3.42 mum, and an absorption cross section of 4.8 x 10(-23) m(2) molec(-1) was obtained. A simple theoretical calculation with the measured spectral data showed that several hundreds of parts in 10(12) (ppt) of a-pinene gas in forest-mountain areas over a range of similar to 10 km were detectable by a long-path-averaged hard-target absorption lidar. Requirements for system development were also discussed. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
