Critical Assessment of Remote Spectroscopic Analysis using LIDAR and Non-Ranging Methods (Revised title)

The use of remote spectrochemical analysis techniques has recently undergone exponential growth, driven by environmental regulations and the need for real-time monitoring for process control and emission measurements. Many competing technologies make claims to establish superiority in a very competitive marketplace. Standards for comparison should be established and a critical assessment of these technologies should be undertaken according to these standards to allow intelligent and accurate comparisons. This project will evaluate present technologies according to existing standards or, when necessary, to extrapolate or develop appropriate standards. Specific technology recommendations will be made for a variety of applications.

Partial draft revised at Geneva. Completed revised draft to be circulated to V.4 members by e-mail by end of 1997.
