  • Abstract
    Isotopic compositions of trace gases yield important information about their origin and can be used for process identification or as tracer. Our project focuses on high precision laser measurements of isotopic ratios of gases at trace concentrations, particularly of N2O, CO and CO2 isotopomers at ppm levels.
