Remote Spectroscopy over Optical Fibers for In Situ Measurement of Contaminants in Soil

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Fiber optic-based sensor probes have been developed that can be pushed up to 50 meters into the soil for remote, real-time detection of petroleum hydrocarbons using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and metals via laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS).
