  • Systems for terrestrial target detection and characterization using a dispersed fourier transform spectrometer
    Patent number: 8065095
    Abstract: A precision molecular and motion sensor utilizing a Dispersed Fourier Transform Spectrometer to remotely sense targets. Remote sensing is conducted at various ranges, against various ambient backgrounds, to detect, classify, identify, characterize, and discriminate targets. A Dispersed Fourier Transform Spectrometer is expanded by modification and augmentation of existing optical, mechanical, and software components to enable basic terrestrial use while providing specific optimization for various applications which are designed with emphasis on the sensitivity of the Dispersed Fourier Transform Spectrometer.
    Type: Grant
