Ytterbium thin-disk lasers pave the way for sensitive detection of atmospheric pollutants

Alongside carbon dioxide, methane is a key driver of global warming. To detect and monitor the climate pollutants in the atmosphere precisely, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) have developed an advanced laser technology. Alongside carbon dioxide, methane is a key driver of global warming.
