    Six normal vibration modes of HCHO molecule
    Experimental setup of FC-FTIR spectrometer
    Formaldehyde absorption spectra in range of 2730-2970 cm-1. Black spectral line is measured formaldehyde spectrum at 296 K and gas pressure of 300 mbar with resolution of 0.08 cm-1, and point line spectrrum is fitting HITRAN database spectrum
    System sensitivity assessment. (a) Evaluation of system sensitivity using multi-spectral line fitting. Solid line is fitting spectrum and scattered dot is measured spectrum; (b) fitting residual; (c) partial amplification for fitting diagram
    Spectral line fitting to evaluate concentration. (a) ν1 band of formaldehyde spectrum measured at a resolution of 0.08 cm-1; (b) spectral line fitting and fitting residuals at 2778.5 cm-1; (c) spectral line fitting and fitting residuals at 2781.0 cm-1; (d) comparison of fitting results between original measured spectra of formaldehyde and HITRAN database
    Absorption spectra of formaldehyde under interference of water. (a) Absorption spectra of mixture of formaldehyde and water at 600 mbar; (b) 2790-2870 cm-1 region local amplification map; (c) local enlarged image; (d) fitting residuals
