Description

As the agency reported it.

These measures are crucial for estimating the abundance of organisms such as those producing harmful algal blooms (habs). Affordable and effective methods to extend the measurement range and improve sensitivity of traditional optical instruments will enable scientists to greatly improve HAB prediction. The proposed research and development effort combines new time-of-flight (TOF) optical detectors with pulsed light sources, to produce new highsensitivity, low-noise optical sensing capabilities that can measure time-synchronized photons within an asynchronous ambient light field that includes scattered light (noise). Fluorescence produced by phytoplankton at a distance from the sensor will be determined by the time-of-flight and spatial distribution of the received photons from source-to-plankton-to-detector. The TOF sensors will use on-c
