Research abstract
We propose to develop a compact lidar for remote measurement and mapping of toxic chemicals (including the carcenogens benzene, benzo(a)pyrene, formaldehyde, TCDD, etc) released during the open-burn or detonation of hazardous propellents, munitions andpyrotechnics (PEP). The innovative two-component scanning lidar consists of a near-infrared aerosol lidar for locating and tracking the plume generated during the event, and a tunable CO2 infrared differential absorption lidar (DIAL) for measuring thetoxic chemicals. A compact portable sensor results from integrating the two lidars and sharing the same 11
