This paper presents comparative analysis of different wavelength ranges for the spectroscopic detection of acetone vapor. We collected and analyzed original absorption line spectra arising from electronic transitions in the ultraviolet, near-infrared vibrational overtones, mid-infrared fundamentals, THz torsional modes, and mm-wave rotational transitions. Peak absorption cross sections of prominent spectral features are determined. The relative merit of each spectral range for sensing is considered, taking into account the absorption strength, available technology, and possible interferences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
