This e-book is an essential review of land-based laser sensing methods, such as differential absorption, Raman scattering, laser-induced fluorescence, Doppler effect methods, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, and laser ultrasonics, and their respective application to specific industrial needs, such as natural gas leak detection, hydrogen gas leak detection, pollutant detection, wind profiling for windmill sites, minor constituent monitoring and concrete structure health monitoring. Readers will gain an updated overview of laser remote sensing techniques and their applications to the industrial environment.
