A German R&D institute that has vast experience in laser systems applied in aerospace security and defence researches, develops and evaluates active optical standoff detection technologies for chemical, biological, and explosive (CBE) hazards. Key technologies are light scattering, induced fluorescence, short-pulse Raman-spectroscopy, and IR (infrared) vibrational spectroscopy. The systems can be tailored to diverse areas of application.
Hazardous materials represent a threat to the environment and to individuals, including first responders, security forces, end-users, and operators.
