SBIR/STTR
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Diode Laser Sensor for Methane, Phase II
Project Introduction
An aircraft system for detecting ambient methane will be developed in this project. The system will use a diode laser to perform a wavelength modulation absorption measurement of this greenhouse gas. The optical system will feature a open path system that is mounted outside the aircraft. The system will make measurements at a 10 Hz rate.
