Remote Sensing of Turbine Engine Gases.

Abstract

This is the FY 80 final report for a laser remote sensing program designed to investigate remote sensing techniques for the detection of jet aircraft exhaust gases. The specific tasks which were performed consisted of the following: (1) continuation of feasibility demonstration of CO2 TEA laser remote sensing system and the detection of NO and C2H4 in the atmosphere, (2) continuation of laboratory absorption measurements of CO, NO, and C2H4, (3) initial laboratory investigation of suitability of laser remote sensing of hydrazine, UDMH, and MMH, (4) implementation of digital data acquisition and processing system, and (5) preliminary development of dual-laser DIAL system.
