摘要

差分吸收光谱（DOAS）技术已成为检测痕量气体的主流技术，被广泛应用于城市空气研究、农村地区测量、平流层和对流层痕量气体监测、火山羽流成分分析等方面。DOAS具有高选择性、高灵敏性、非接触、多组分同步检测等特点，可检测NO、NO

、CHOCHO、SO

、O

、芳香烃等多种气体，检测限最低可达pptv量级。该综述以主/被动两种模式分别介绍了DOAS检测痕量气体的研究现状。针对主动式DOAS介绍了系统结构的变化，光源、探测器等元件的发展，可探测气体种类，特定领域的应用；针对被动DOAS，介绍了地面站点、移动平台（车辆、船舶、飞机）和环境卫星等遥感监测方式。最后，针对DOAS与成像技术和DOAS与腔增强吸收光谱结合应用情况进行了介绍，并对DOAS检测痕量气体的未来发展和研究方向进行了展望。

Abstract

Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy （DOAS） has become a mainstream technique for detecting trace gases and is widely used in urban air quality studies

measurements in rural areas

stratospheric and tropospheric trace gas monitoring

and volcanic plume composition analysis. DOAS offers high selectivity

high sensitivity

non-contact operation

and simultaneous multi-component detection

enabling the measurement of various gases such as NO

CHOCHO

Aromatic Hydrocarbons

with detection limits as low as the pptv lev

el. Its applications are presented in trace gas detection using both active and passive modes. For active DOAS

it discusses the evolution of system configurations

advancements in components like light sources and detectors

the variety of detectable gases

and its applications in specific fields. For passive DOAS

it covers remote sensing methods using ground-based stations

mobile platforms （vehicles

ships

aircraft）

and environmental satellites. Following that

an introduction was provided on the combined application of DOAS with imaging technology

as well as DOAS with cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy. Finally

the paper offers an outlook on the future development and research directions for DOAS in trace gas detection.
