Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement: No
Nature of Requirements:
a.Title: Artificial neural networks pattern classification software for the analysis of spectroscopic signatures produced by high power lasers.
b.Description of work
The type of reactions occurring when a High Power Laser (HPL) is incident onto a solid object is highly dependent on the incident beam properties. In fact, incident beam power, diameter and pointing stability are amongst the parameters that determine if the laser will heat, melt, oxidize or vaporize the material. As the distance between the laser and the object is augmented, it becomes increasingly difficult to assess for the impact of the laser on the object.
This contract aims to develop an automated software to analyze, nearly in real-time, the data collected and inform the user about the nature of the object interrogated as well as the processes that took place.
