Abstract

An innovative passive standoff system for the detection of chemical/biological agents is described. The spectral, temporal and spatial resolution of the data collected are all adjustable in real time, making it possible to keep the tradeoff between the sensor operating parameters at optimum at all times. The instrument contains no macro-scale moving parts and is therefore an excellent candidate for the development of a robust, compact, lightweight and low-power-consumption sensor. The design can also serve as a basis for a wide variety of spectral instruments operating in the visible, NIR, MWIR, and LWIR to be used for surveillance, process control, and biomedical applications.
