MIRPHAB
MidInfraRed PHotonics devices fABrication for chemical sensing and spectroscopic applications
[H2020 Call: ICT-28-2015: Cross-cutting ICT KETs]
The MIRPHAB (Mid InfraRed PHotonics devices fABrication for chemical sensing and spectroscopic applications) consortium will establish a pilot line to serve the growing needs of European industry in the field of analytical micro-sensors. Its main objectives are to:
• provide a reliable supply of mid-infrared (MIR) photonic components for companies incl. in particular SMEsalready active in analytical MIR sensing• reduce investment cost to access innovative MIR solutions for companies already active in the field ofanalytical sensors, but new to MIR photonics based sensing• attract companies new to the field of analytical sensors, aiming to integrate μ-sensors into their products.
To fullfil those objectives, MIRPHAB is organized as a distributed pilot line formed by leading European industrial suppliers of MIR photonic components, complemented by first class European R&D institutes with processing facilities capable of carrying out pilot line production. For MIRPHAB, Alpes will on the one hand validate a set of processes to establish a library of capabilities available to the pilot line members for QCL based products realization and on the other hand will bring to fully industrialized maturity (TRL-9(8)) enabling products offering monolithically integrated extended wavelength coverage devices.
