An Integrated Inherent Optical Property Sensor for AUVs

Abstract

Several automated, compact sampling platforms have recently been developed or are gaining widespread use in Naval operations and oceanographic research for mapping environmental parameters in multiple dimensions. In addition to limited sensor payloads, many of these platforms are intended for extended deployments. Sensors compatible with these platforms must therefore be compact and low power. Developing optical sensors with these qualities for use in Naval operations and oceanographic research is a core long term goal.
