Description
Nowadays the intentional diffusion in air (both in open and closed environments) of chemical and biological contaminants presents a dramatic risk for the health of the public worldwide. The needs of a high-tech network composed by diagnostics, software, decision support systems and cyber security tools are urging all the stakeholders (military, public, research & academic entities), who are working on the subject, to develop innovative solutions to face this problem. The Quantum Electronics and Plasma Physics (QEP) Research Group is working since the 1960s on the development of laser-based technologies for the stand-off detection of contaminants in the atmosphere. Actually, four demonstrators have been developed (two LIDAR-based and two DIAL-based) and have been deployed in experimental campaigns during 2015. These systems have the demonstrated capability to detect and/or identify chemical substances in different environmental conditions. All the apparatuses developed will be presented together with a critical analysis of the data collected.
