Remote detection of oil under ice using fluorescence
The first phase of a project devoted to the exploitation of laser induced fluorescence for detection of oil leaks under ice is presented. The basic principle is as follows: The radiation from a nitrogen laser, used as an excitation source, goes through the ice and irradiates a layer of oil under the...
