Abstract
This review covers the rapidly expanding field of near-infrared tunable diode laser spectroscopy where the availability of new lasers has led to the development of simple and inexpensive spectroscopic systems for the detection and monitoring of gas species. The latest diode lasers and the specific techniques associated with diode laser spectroscopy are described. Specific examples covering chemical vapour deposition reaction diagnostics, remote vehicle emission sensing, balloon-borne atmospheric monitoring and combustion diagnostics then illustrate the technique advantages of rapid, highly selective, in situ monitoring.
