The optical diagnostics design space examples
resolution coverage
spatial spatial resolution of a PLIF image total size of a PLIF image
spectral spectral resolution of an absorption spectrum spectral breadth of an absorption spectrum
temporal time to acquire an absorption spectrum total time over which consecutive absorption spectra are acquired
signal noise-equivalent signal maximum signal

• Tradeoffs (want excellent performance in every
  category, but cannot get it)
