REMOTE LASER INTERROGATION OF THREAT CLOUDS AND SURFACES

摘要

This invention concerns the remote detection of threat clouds and evaluation of their components. Also included is the remote detection and evaluation of contamination on surfaces or in air streams. To enable this detection, fluorophores that are attached to POSS are used with two-photon LIF imaging that provides enhanced background-free imaging even in the presence of scattering particles such as dust, sand and water droplets.
