Remote sensing of turbine engine gases

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 s U;e, Unsing of hydrazine, UDMH, and MMH; (4) implemenation of digital data acquisition and processing system; and (5) preliminary development of dual-laser DIAL system.
