| contents | Advances in mid-infrared (MIR) dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) have significantly enhanced molecular detection in recent years. The capability of DCS to precisely identify and quantify atmospheric trace gases makes it attractive for field applications across the environmental, agricultural, energy, and industrial sectors. In particular, there is a growing demand for mobile and continuous gas monitoring in outdoor environments where emission sources and sinks are often episodic and spatially heterogeneous. However, the practical field-deployment of DCS on mobile platforms under realistic field conditions has remained limited. This study demonstrates for the first time a vehicle-mounted MIR DCS system that enables continuous mobile atmospheric sampling across multiple outdoor sites and road environments. The system exhibited a stable signal-to-noise performance during on-road operation, including expressway driving at speeds up to 100 km/h. Furthermore, natural-gas leakage sources were successfully located and a two-dimensional methane concentration field was reconstructed around a controlled release source. In the future, the system can be integrated into more mobile platforms, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, enabling flexible trace gas detection over urban-scale regions. |
