A mobile laser remote sensing system is being developed for multispectral UV fluorescence detection of vapor, liquid, and solid effluents. TM system uses laser wavelengths between 250 and 400 nm to excite UV fluorescence spectra that can be used to detect and identify species in multicomponent chemical mixtures. With a scanning mirror assembly, the system is designed to map chemical concentrations with a range resolution of {approximately}5 m. In this paper we describe the optical detection system (scanning mirror assembly, 76 cm diameter collection telescope, relay optics, spectrometers, and detectors) associated data acquisition and control electronics. We also describe unique diagnostic software that is used for instrument setup and control.
