Abstract: A reflectivity absorption system for identifying a target precious or semi-precious material can include a detector, a filter system, and an output display. The detector system is capable of detecting a reflected electromagnetic radiation at a primary wavelength and a secondary wavelength. The reflected electromagnetic radiation can be produced from sunlight or other light source. The primary wavelength corresponds to an upper reflectivity of the target material while the secondary wavelength corresponds to a lower reflectivity of the target material. Reflectivity is a function of wavelength such that identifiable variations in wavelength can be observed for certain materials over specific wavelength ranges which are then compared to a known standard reflectivity response for the indicated wavelengths. These systems can be used in portable, handheld, or stationary configurations and can identify exposed target materials in real-time.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for standoff spectroscopy of molecules (e.g. from a residue) on a surface from a distance. A source emits radiation that modifies or conditions the residue, such as through photodecomposition. A spectral generating source measures a spectrum of the residue before and after the residue is exposed to the radiation from that source. The two spectra are compared to produce a distinct identification of the residues on the surface or identify certain properties of the residue.

Abstract: A fluorescence radiation detector of the Fraunhofer line discriminator type. A sky telescope and an earth telescope each form radiation beams which are directed to a single optical chopper. The chopper sequentially directs each beam through a single Fabry-Perot filter centered at the Fraunhofer line and a single neutral density filter. The chopped segments are recombined to form a beam containing A, B, C, and D portions in time sequence where: A the direct solar intensity within the continuum; B the direct solar intensity inside the selected Fraunhofer line; C the reflected solar intensity inside the selected Fraunhofer line; and D the reflected solar intensity in the continuum. A single photomultiplier tube with a blocking filter in front receives the beam and produces corresponding sequential electrical pulses which are electronically processed to yield fluorescence (p) from the equation

Abstract: Solar spectral irradiance (SSI) measurements are important for solar collector/photovoltaic panel efficiency and solar energy resource assessment as well as being important for scientific meteorological/climate observations and material testing research. To date such measurements have exploited modified diffraction grating based scientific instruments which are bulky, expensive, and with low mechanical integrity for generalized deployment. A compact and cost-effective tool for accurately determining the global solar spectra as well as the global horizontal or tilted irradiances as part of on-site solar resource assessments and module performance characterization studies would be beneficial. An instrument with no moving parts for mechanical and environment stability in open field, non-controlled deployments could exploit software to resolve the global, direct and diffuse solar spectra from its measurements within the 280-4000 nm spectral range, in addition to major atmospheric processes, such as air mass, Rayleigh scattering, aerosol extinction, ozone and water vapour absorptions.

Abstract: A method is provided for determining a visual range in daytime fog, the method (800) including a step of reading in and a step of ascertaining. In the step of reading in, coordinates of at least one characteristic point of a brightness curve of a camera image of the fog are read in. The brightness curve represents brightness values of image points of the camera image along a reference axis of the camera image. In the step of ascertaining, a meteorological visual range in the camera image is ascertained using the coordinates, a meteorological contrast threshold, and a processing specification, in order to estimate the visual range in fog. The processing specification images location-dependent and/or direction-dependent scattered light through the fog in the camera image.
