Abstract

Sandia National Laboratories is currently involved in various projects aimed at developing optical sensors for industrial environments. In one project, a laser-based instrument for process control in steelmaking, a laser-induced breakdown method for hazardous metal detection in process streams, and a laser-based imaging sensor for evaluating surface cleanliness are being developed. All three sensors employ a wide range of sophistication in both the laser source and associated analytical spectroscopy.
