Title: INFRARED SPECTRAL SIGNATURES: CREATION OF REFERENCE DATA FOR VAPORS AND LIQUIDS

Journal Article · · International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems, 18(2):231-250

Two primary goals of infrared spectroscopic dection are chemical identification and quantification. In order to accomplish these goals, a comprehensive and quantitative spectral library suitable for digital manipulation is required. To a large degree, the contents of such a library depend on the application. Since the primary application of the PNNL/DOE spectral library is for environmental monitoring, we have focused our efforts on hazardous pollutants, as well as a large variety of natural and anthropogenic chemicals. As a spin-off project and in collaboration with Dugway Proving Ground, we also had the opportunity to analyze a limited set of chemical warfare agents (CWAs).
