Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), management and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site located near Aiken, South Carolina, is seeking to determine industry interest for possible licensing of the "Fiber Optic Raman Probe." This invention is a device that permits easy remote chemical analysis of solids, liquids, slurries, powders, or gases using the Raman scattering technique. Raman scattering makes it possible to obtain spectral information similar to mid-infrared absorbence, but shifted into the visible wavelength region for easier transmission using normal silica fiber optic cables. Respondents will be provided with a technical brief and instructions for preparing and submitting a business plan, an integral element of the licensing process and license application. Applicants will be considered based upon the quality of business plans received. Responses to this notice must be received by May 17, 1997. Business plans must be submitted no later than June 17, 1997.
