We review our recent results in development of high-precision laser spectroscopic instrumentation using mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers, interband cascade lasers and antimonide diode lasers. These instruments are primarily for high-precision and high-sensitivity measurements of atmospheric trace gases, as required for atmospheric research. The instruments are based on direct absorption spectroscopy with rapid sweeps, integration and precision fitting, under the control of high-capability software. By operating in the mid-infrared with long absorption path lengths at reduced pressure, we achieve excellent sensitivity. Some instruments have demonstrated a fractional precision of 10(-4) for atmospheric trace gases at ambient concentration, allowing real-time isotopologue measurements of CO2, CO, CH4, N2O and H2O. Trace gas detection in ambient air at the low part-per-trillion levels is feasible. We also describe signal processing methods to identify and reduce measurement noise. Analysis of spectral information is largely based on loading spectra into arrays and then applying block operations such as filters, Fourier analysis, multivariate fitting and principal component analysis. We present mathematical expressions for averaged spectra in arrays and note different ways frequency aliasing can occur. We present an extended example of analysis of instrument noise and find an electronic signal mixing with an interference fringe.
