Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) is revolutionizing the sensitivity, speed, ease of use, robustness, and portability of trace chemical species detection. Today, CRDS is being commercialized across a broad range of application areas, including medical diagnostics, industrial process control, environmental monitoring, and civilian and military security. In this monograph we will address the application of CRDS to medical breath testing, a new field in medical diagnostics that promises to usher in a new era of testing methodology with improved specificity, sensitivity, and painless administration compared to the current generation of medical tests.
