Abstract

Improved correction of optical absorption spectroscopy results for trace gas detection is provided by correcting for species crosstalk (and other environmental effects) on a per-frequency basis. Analyte concentrations are then determined by curve fitting to the corrected absorption spectrum. This is in marked contrast to the conventional approach of first performing a curve fit to determine analyte concentrations, then correcting the analyte concentrations to account for species crosstalk and other environmental effects. In some embodiments, the number of parameters for the per-frequency corrections are automatically determined from the data (e.g., using a LASSO regression).
