Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Tech Transfer
Compact, Dual Channel, Mid-IR Laser Spectrometer, Phase II
Project Introduction
The Small Business Innovative Research Phase II proposal seeks to develop a dual channel, compact mid-infrared laser spectrometer for planetary atmosphere exploration. The device will be capable of measuring numerous trace gases at 3.3 and 4.6 um without the need for cryogens. By using novel, fiber-coupled, solid state lasers, performance will be improved over traditional tunable diode laser sensors with a simplified operation that is rugged and low power.
