  • System and method for multi-target fluid concentration detection and mapping
    Patent number: 7508520
    Abstract: Methods and systems for obtaining a target fluid map of a survey area using a differential absorption LIDAR (DIAL) system are provided. Pulse bursts are transmitted toward the survey area, where each pulse burst includes an off-line pulse and at least one on-line pulse. Pulse bursts, each being associated with a measurement point, are received from the survey area. A concentration path length (CPL) corresponding to a respective on-line pulse, a spatial location associated with the CPL, and an error associated with the CPL are determined for each measurement point. The CPL for each measurement point is arranged within the survey area to form the target fluid map.
