- Description
- DARPA-SN-15-01 The overarching goal of the SCOUT program is to develop chip-scale optical frequency comb sources that enable quantitative detection of multiple trace species in application-specific environments. Sources are sought for a variety of techniques (e.g., absorption and Raman spectroscopies), geometries (e.g., point source detection and standoff), and form factors (e.g., handheld, remote deployment, and chip-level integration with other platforms). Environments of interest may include ambient atmosphere, atmosphere polluted by smoke and aerosols, industrial process cleanrooms, solid and liquid surface residues, and human breath, with particular interest in both proximal (non-contact to 300 meters) and standoff (> 300 meters) geometries. Such environments are characterized by extensive spectroscopic "clutter" due to the presence of a multitude of absorbing species that may or may not be known a priori. The unprecedented combination of high sensitivity and resolution with broad spectral coverage enabled by optical frequency combs, promises to mitigate the effect of spectral clutter, allowing trace-level chem/bio detection with novel signal processing algorithms. See attached DARPA-SN-15-01 for more details.
