Radiation detection with mid-IR laser breakdown of air

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate standoff detection of radioactive material based on avalanche breakdown of irradiated air with mid-IR laser pulses. With radiation present, breakdowns experience a temporal shift in their evolution, and can exhibit on-off sensitivity.
