Stand-off identification of aerosols using mid-infrared backscattering Fourier-transform spectroscopy

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that it is possible to identify the chemical composition of an aerosol by using Fourier-transform spectroscopy of backscattered mid-infrared light at a range of 0.2 m. An ultrafast mid-infrared optical parametric oscillator provides the illumination source for the measurement across a wavelength range from 3.2–3.55 μm containing characteristic optical absorption features for two different chemicals. Normalized detection sensitivity below 10ppmm1Hz1/2 is obtained.
