This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to develop and commercialize animaging sensor capable of rapid, non?]intrusive, spatially?]resolved measurement of temperature, andconcentration of chemical species in combustion systems. This imaging sensor system incorporatesdiode lasers, a high?]sensitivity measurement technique based on absorption spectroscopy, and dataanalysis routines to provide an unprecedented combination of high?]temporal and high?]spatialresolution, and multi?]dimensional data. In many applications, information about the spatial andtemporal variation of the properties is critical. Examples include the monitoring and control of industrialcombustors and furnaces, where information about the location of the ?ghot spots?h is highly desired; andthe monitoring of indoor air pollutants, where information about the location and diffusion propertiesof the contamination sources is critical. The technical goal is a laboratory scale demonstration of theimaging sensor providing spatial distribution of flow properties.The broader impacts of this research are that specific markets relevant to this work include both militaryand commercial jet engine manufacturers, manufacturers of industrial combustors/burners for powergeneration and heat processing, manufacturers of environmental sensors, the academic researchcommunity, and government research laboratories and flight test programs. The initial targetapplication of the proposed imaging sensor is in the energy and environmental sectors which include themonitoring and control of combustion systems to reduce pollutant emissions, improve indoor/outdoorair quality, and maximize fuel efficiency.
