A high spectral resolution sensor for active and passive remote sensing of vegetation fluorescence

The present paper describes main technical features and experimental results of a high spectral resolution sensor that can operate both as a passive and active sensor. The sensor features a high spectral resolution detection system (521 channels, up to 0.04-nm spectral resolution) and allows the remote detection of both laser-induced fluorescence of vegetation and reflectance plus solar-induced fluorescence spectra.
