<title>Multispectral and hyperspectral 3D imaging lidar based upon the multiple-slit streak tube imaging lidar</title>

Abstract

An imaging lidar system is developed for capturing laser- induced fluorescence imagery. With minor changes to the transmitter and receiver optics, the system operates in a number of different modes including 3D multispectral, hyperspectral, multi-excitation hyperspectral, and fluorescence-lifetime hyperspectral. All of these sensor functions provide discriminating capabilities for targets exhibiting spectral fluorescence signatures.
