Detection Of Chemicals With Infrared Light

View page
US Patent:
8222604, Jul 17, 2012
Filed:
Dec 20, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/330728
Inventors:
R Andrew McGill - Lorton VA, US
Chris Kendziora - Burke VA, US
Robert Furstenberg - Largo MD, US
Michael Papantonakis - Washington DC, US
James S Horwitz - Fairfax VA, US
Graham K Hubler - Highland MD, US
International Classification:
G01N 21/00
US Classification:
2503385
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for non-contact or stand off chemical detection by selectively exciting one or more analytes of interest using an IR source tuned to at least one specific absorption band without significantly decomposing the analyte and determining if the analyte is present by comparing emitted photons with an IR detector signal made before and during or shortly after exciting the analyte. Another embodiment provides a method for non-contact or stand off chemical detection by selectively exciting one or more analytes of interest using an IR source tuned to at least one specific absorption band without significantly decomposing the analyte, wherein the analyte is excited sufficiently to generate a vapor plume, and wherein the plume is examined to detect the presence of the analyte. Additionally, the present invention provides for a system for non-contact or stand off chemical detection.

Assignee:
The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G01N 21/00
US Classification:
2503385
Abstract:
A method for non-contact analyte detection by selectively exciting one or more analytes of interest using an IR source optionally operated to produce pulses of light and tuned to at least one specific absorption band without significantly decomposing organic analytes and determining if the analyte is present by comparing emitted photons with an IR detector signal collected one or more times before, during, or after, exciting the analyte. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for non-contact analyte detection by selectively exciting analytes of interest using one or more IR sources that are optionally operated to produce pulses of light and tuned to at least one specific wavelength without significantly decomposing organic analytes, wherein the analyte is excited sufficiently to increase the amount of analyte in the gas phase, and wherein the content of the gas is examined to detect the presence of the analyte.

US Patent:
20100044570, Feb 25, 2010
Filed:
Oct 21, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/255103
Inventors:
R. Andrew McGill - Lorton VA, US
Chris Kendziora - Burke VA, US
Robert Furstenberg - Largo MD, US
Michael Papantonakis - Washington DC, US
James S. Horwitz - Fairfax VA, US
Graham K. Hubler - Highland MD, US
International Classification:
G01N 21/63
G01N 21/84
US Classification:
2503385, 2503418, 25033911
Abstract:
The present invention is generally directed to a method for non-contact or stand off chemical detection that may be eye-safe by selectively exciting one ore more analytes of interest using an IR source tuned to at least one specific absorption band without significantly decomposing the analyte and determining if the analyte is present by comparing emitted photons with an IR detector signal made before and during or shortly after exciting the analyte. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for non-contact or stand off chemical detection that may be eye-safe by selectively exciting one or more analytes of interest using an IR source tuned to at least one specific absorption band without significantly decomposing the analyte, wherein the analyte is excited sufficiently to generate a vapor plume, and wherein the plume is examined to detect the presence of the analyte. The analyte of interest may be an explosive, an additive to an explosive, a drug, a chemical warfare agent, a biochemical, or a biological warfare agent. Additionally, the present invention provides for a system for non-contact or stand off chemical detection that may be eye-safe.

Chemical Mapping Using Thermal Microscopy At The Micro And Nano Scales

US Patent:
20130134310, May 30, 2013
Filed:
Nov 25, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/684535
Inventors:
Robert Furstenberg - Burke VA, US
Chris Kendziora - Burke VA, US
Nabil D. Bassim - Silver Spring MD, US
Robert Andrew McGill - Lorton VA, US
Viet K. Nguyen - Gaithersburg MD, US
International Classification:
G01J 3/28
G01J 3/02
US Classification:
2503416, 250353
Abstract:
A non-destructive method for chemical imaging with 1 nm to 10 μm spatial resolution (depending on the type of heat source) without sample preparation and in a non-contact manner. In one embodiment, a sample undergoes photo-thermal heating using an IR laser and the resulting increase in thermal emissions is measured with either an IR detector or a laser probe having a visible laser reflected from the sample. In another embodiment, the infrared laser is replaced with a focused electron or ion source while the thermal emission is collected in the same manner as with the infrared heating. The achievable spatial resolution of this embodiment is in the 1-50 nm range.
