Online discrimination of chemical substances using standoff laser‐induced fluorescence signals
Abstract Chemical contamination of objects and surfaces, caused by accident or on purpose, is a common security issue. Immediate countermeasures depend on the class of risk and consequently on the characteristics of the substances. Laser‐based standoff detection techniques can help to provide information about the thread without direct contact of ...

Experimental and numerical analysis of atmospheric propagation of high energy laser [PDF]
The transmission of high power laser radiation through the atmosphere is influenced by turbulent motion of the air. As a result the beam experiences an alteration regarding its position and its distribution, which increases with increasing propagation ...

Thermal Ignition of ADN‐Based Propellants
Abstract Ammonium dinitramide (ADN, NH4+ N(NO2)2−) based monopropellants are extremely promising as hydrazine replacement. Thermal igniters are attractive for ADN thrusters as they allow a more prompt ignition and may be better suited for larger engines (100‐500 N) compared to the currently used preheated catalysts.
