Laser Induced Luminescence of Military Targets.

Abstract

The objective of this report is to identify specific problems where laser induced luminescence may prove useful to current Army remote sensing system and terminal homing devices. Luminescence, as any other molecular emission process (e.g., Raman emission), is typical of a particular molecular system and should provide the basis for discrimination of a given target if sufficient spectral resolution is employed.
