Title:
Development of Tunable Laser Gas Sensing Module
Agreement Number:
1004464
Agreement Value:
$100,000.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2023 - Sep 30, 2024
Description:
This project aims to develop a laser-based OEM gas sensing module with high performance and low cost for methane detections. The goal is to have a plug-and-play module suitable for both stationary installation and mobile deployment using drones or land vehicles. Norcada will leverage its rare ability to develop 3.27um lasers with NRC, which can provide 100 times higher sensitivity than the current technology, enabling more compact designs for methane sensing applications. Norcada will also exploit its expertise in photonic packaging and its ability to control laser chip and packaging supply chain, to drive down the sensing module production cost. The same OEM module platform can also be configured for other gas sensing applications.
