Dr. James P. Smith

A collaboration among Sandia National Laboratories, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and the Honeywell Technology Center in Minneapolis promises to produce a functioning prototype remote sensor by 2001 that will allow a person with binoculars to detect in seconds the nature of a gas being emitted by a smoke cloud. While remote chemical sensors are not new, this work-in-progress could do much of the spectral processing up front, allowing faster, more sensitive and selective results. Broadband infrared light is incident upon a diffraction grating that is...Read full article
