Sandia National Laboratories/California (SNL/CA) will develop a novel fieldable laser-induced incandescence sensor to measure black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC) organic aerosols and their optical and chemical characteristics. Fabrication and laboratory testing would be conducted at SNL/CA's Combustion Research Facility (CRF). Fabrication would consist of assembly of off-the-shelf components. Laboratory testing would involve use of a small bench top flame to generate soot and characterization of soot particles. Field testing would be conducted in an enclosed space at one of several potential locations.
