Concept information

Preferred term

CAMS  

Definition

  • The CAMS instrument’s core design and operation is similar to the DFGAS (Difference Frequency Generation Absorption Spectrometer) instrument, which has been successfully deployed for fast, accurate, and sensitive airborne measurements of the important trace gas formaldehyde (CH2O). CAMS like DFGAS is based on tunable mid-IR (3.53-μm) absorption spectroscopyutilizing advanced fiber optically pumped difference-frequency generation(DFG) laser sources. A comprehensive discussion of the measurement principle and performance of the DFGAS instrument is found in Weibring et al. [2006, 2007], and only a brief discussion is presented here. (en)
