Abstract
A high energy UV fiber-coupled laser-induced fluorescence system is provided having a transmission component and a receiving component. The transmission component includes a laser source configured to produce high-energy UV pulses, a UV-enhanced fused-silica fiber coupled to the laser source, and optics coupled to the UV-enhanced fused-silica fiber for transmitting the high-energy UV pulses to a target area. The receiving component receives laser-induced florescence events from the target area and includes additional UV-enhanced fused-silica fiber coupled to optics and a receiving means.
