The device uses laser-induced fluorescence imaging and Raman spectroscopy (LIFIRS). Physics major Alex Hall (\u201912) and engineering major Steven Hang (\u201913) worked with Prof. Lyzenga and Michael Storrie-Lombardi, M.D. to develop a novel non-destructive, non-contact optical device capable of rapidly generating reflectance and fluorescence images. These systems are being developed and integrated for a pair of autonomous rovers specifically designed for exploration of lava tubes on Mars.
