Remote sensing, applications

Technology developments are revolutionizing the spectroscopic capabilities at THz frequencies. While no one teclmique is ideal for all applications, both CW and pulsed spectrometers operating at or near the fiindamental limits imposed by quantum mechanics are now within reach. Compact, all-solid-state implementations will soon allow such spectrometers to move out of the laboratory and into a wealth of field and remote-sensing applications. From the study of the rotational motions of light molecules to the large-amplitude vibrations of...

Examples of semi-quantitative assessments include interpretive maps and informational matrices which could be utilized to relate land-use, topography and erosion or other non-point source problems. Remote sensing imagery from low, intermediate and high altitude are applicable to this approach (29). 

Possible future applications of up-converting phosphors include (i) three-dimensional displays 249-251 (ii) fiber optic amplifiers (referred to above) that operate at 1.55, 1.46, and 1.31 pm,, 2 1-255 (iii) up-conversion lasers 250 and (iv) remote sensing thermometers for high-temperature applications (utilizing the temperature dependence of optical properties of, for example, cubic Y203 Er3+).256-258...

Luminescence, in particular photoluminescence, constitutes a well-established discipline in analytical science where the cited hallmarks include remarkable sensitivity, wide dynamic range and low detection limits (-10under suitable conditions). These collective merits are often umivaled by other optical techniques, and hence its wide adoption in the life sciences for determining trace constituents in biological and environmental samples. Moreover, its fast response, high spatial resolution and remote sensing capabilities make it attractive for real-time analytical problems such as process manufacturing (process analysis or PAT) and field applications. ... 

For practical applications in remote sensing we need a highly directional, very intense and powerful source. 

The Applications of Laser-induced Time-resolved Spectroscopic Techniques chapter starts with a short description of laser-induced spectroscopies, which may be used in combination with laser-induced luminescence, namely Breakdown, Raman and Second Harmonic Generation. The chapter contains several examples of the application of laser-based spectroscopies in remote sensing and radiometric sorting of minerals. The proljlem of minerals as geomaterials for radioactive waste storage is also considered. 

Similar conclusions have been reached with respect to NO emissions in an initial application of this remote-sensing technology, the highest 10% of automobile emitters were responsible for almost half of the NO emissions (Zhang et al., 1996b Jimenez et al., 1999). 

Laser sources that emit in the mid-ir region of the spectmm (2—5 pm) are useful for detection of trace gases because many molecules have strong absorption bands in that region. Other applications include remote sensing and laser radar. Semiconductor lead—salt (IV—VI) lasers that operate CW at a temperature of 200 K and emission wavelength of 4 pm are commercially available however, they have relatively low output powers (<1 mW) (120).
