| Sample Introduction |
| Vapor/Gas |
| Sensitivity/Detection Limits |
| ppm; analyte dependent |
| Known Interferents/Inhibitors |
| Passive remote sensing technique which requires thermal contrast for signal generation (1-2 K contrast typically sufficient). Data processing required to remove influence of atmospheric absorption on long-distance measurements. Technique utilizes infrared spectroscopy for material identification and is subject to similar limitations (cannot detect homonuclear diatomics), and interferences (strong IR signature for water, for example). |
