Abstract

This paper describes the development of a multi-wavelength ultraviolet (UV) laser source suitable for remote spectroscopy and detection of organic compounds in the atmosphere. Such a laser source would be suitable for stand-off detection of biological or organic compounds by exciting fluorescence and then monitoring the returned energy in the fluorescence spectrum. Having multiple UV wavelengths or the ability to tune the UV laser output wavelength provides greater resolution and discrimination between compounds with similar fluorescence spectra.
