A laser fluorosensor system has been developed for remotely detecting and identifying crude oils and oil based products from an airborne platform. A streak camera system is the essential detection element in the laser fluorosensor. The capability of this device for rapidly measuring intrinsic temporal characteristics of oil fluorescence has been investigated. These characteristics have been used with spectral parameters for oil spill identification. 3 refs., 7 figs.
