Mf. Quinn et al., DETERMINATION OF INTRINSIC FLUORESCENCE LIFETIME PARAMETERS OF CRUDE OILS USING A LASER FLUOROSENSOR WITH A STREAK CAMERA DETECTION SYSTEM, Instrumentation science & technology, 23(3), 1995, pp. 201-215
A laser fluorosensor system has been developed for remotely detecting
and identifying crude oils and oil based products from an airborne pla
tform. A streak camera system is the essential detection element in th
e laser fluorosensor. The capability of this device for rapidly measur
ing intrinsic temporal characteristics of oil fluorescence has been in
vestigated. These characteristics have been used with spectral paramet
ers for oil spill identification.
