Research abstract
We will develop new sensor technology for high-speed, spatially resolved gas information by utilizing new detector technology, prior hyperspectral imaging techniques, and recent development of laser absorption sensors. The effort will result in the ability to obtain 2D-spatial, spectral, and temporal information in a concept we have dubbed, four-dimensional tunable laser absorption spectroscopy (4D-TLAS). In Phase I of this project, we will develop a breadboard 4D-TLAS system, and the effort will culminate with an optimized Phase II prototype design for use inside NASA test facilities.
