We have experimentally studied the laser-induced spectra of petroleum products at the excitation fluorescence wavelength of 266 nm. The paper depicts a schematic diagram of the laboratory setup, gives data resulted from processing of laser-induced fluorescence spectra, and shows that, in comparison with spectra of petroleum products, the laser-induced fluorescence spectra of oil have a shift toward the longer wavelength spectral region and a far wider spectral bandwidth. For oil, an efficient band of sensing fluorescence radiation, is of ~ 390 – 600 nm in average. For gasoline, an efficient band of sensing fluorescence radiation has a significant shift toward the shorter wavelength region (~ 320 – 360 nm) as compared to the efficient sensing fluorescence radiation band for diesel and engine oils (~ 330-395 nm).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
