Detecting stereoscopic distribution of carbon dioxide using single photon spectroscopy
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: It is of great significance to develop a high-precision and high spatiotemporal resolution of stereoscopic detection technology to finely delineate the horizontal and vertical distributions of CO 2 . This study elaborates on the superiorities of single photon spectroscopy, key steps to develop a high-performance single photon LIDAR, and their potential applications. Single-photon CO 2 LIDAR integrates quantum sensing techniques with classical spectral measurement techniques, and can overcome the detection limitations of traditional CO 2 LIDAR in terms of detection distance, sensitivity, and spatiotemporal resolution. We anticipate that the single-photon spectroscopic technology can be widely applied in the detection of regional distribution and emission fluxes of CO 2 , transboundary transport fluxes of CO 2 , and in supporting the establishment of a new carbon monitoring framework.
