  • Abstract
    Effects of gas-phase collisions on active optical sensing and use of picosecond laser spectroscopy for their characterization are reviewed. Additionally, novel time-resolved approaches to reduce collisional sensitivity and to exploit species-dependent collision rates are discussed.
