Complete List

Product development in the area of instrumentation to support LIDAR measurements includes the design and fabrication of a spectral characterization instrument. The purpose of this laboratory instrument is to measure the spectral signatures and cross-sections of material in support of open-air range tests of Infrared/Ultraviolet Laser-Induced Fluorescence LIDAR systems. Developed to support the Joint Biological Stand-off Detection System program (JBSDS), the Bio-Spectral Instrument (BSI) was developed to measure the spectral signatures and cross sections of materials and aerosols of interest. The instrument was delivered in early 2008.

• The BSI is able to provide the following information on samples:

    - Elastic scattering at 3 wavelengths: 355 nm, 1.06 µm and 1.5 µm
    - Laser-induced fluorescence between 360 nm and 700 nm
    - Optical depth

• Sample analysis is automated.
