Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Tech Transfer
Compact, Dual Channel, Mid-IR Laser Spectrometer, Phase I
Project Description
The Small Business Innovative Research Phase I proposal seeks to develop a dual channel, compact mid-infrared laser spectrometer for planetary atmosphere exploration. The device will be capable of measuring 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.
