M3NIR

EU GRANTS Active Projects M3NIR project Integrated, Modular, Multisensing, Mid- and Near- IR sensingplatform M3NIR (Integrated, Modular, Multisensing, Mid- and Near- IR sensingplatform) project with the aim to develop innovative photonics-basedsensing approaches has started on 1 st of January 2023. The internationalconsortium of 13 partners from all over Europe plans to boost significantlysensing technology in terms […]

SOMMA

SOMMA project Sensor Optical Multi-purpose Mid-IR Applications This project has the scope to develop a multipurpose sensing platform based on broadly tunable laser sources QCL-XT developed by Alpes in the Mid-IR range.    These sensors will initially target two main applications within the project consortium, i.e. continuous monitoring of CF4 emissions in presence of CH4 […]

PETRA

PETRA project PETRochemical Analyzer The project seeks to develop a prototype instrument for optical on-line analysis in petrochemical process streams. It will quantify percent-level composition of hydrocarbon mixtures and detect trace-level (parts-per-million) contaminants in an ethylene matrix. Such a product will replace high-maintenance chromatographs.   The result of the project is the development of laser […]

MIRIFISENS

MIRIFISENS project Mid InfraRed Innovative lasers For Improved SENSor of hazardous substances The mid-infrared (MIR) region is emerging as the favourite wavelength band for a number of applications, including high sensitivity trace detection, chemical emission monitoring, process control, and biological sensing applications. An efficient way to get precise and reliable information is to rely on […]

ACCORDS

ACCORDS project Active Coherent Remote Dispersion Spectrometer An ultra-sensitive and selective laser-based multi-species gas sensor will be developed for open path detection of methane, ethane, and hydrogen sulphide leaks from oil and gas extraction and oil refinery sites. The sensor will rely on the Chirped Laser Dispersion Spectroscopy (CLaDS) technique in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral […]

CODE-REFARM

CODE ReFARM project Consumer-driven demands to reframe farming systems Non-intensive farming, with low inputs of energy and chemicals can contribute towards maintaining biodiversity in traditional landscapes, has less pollution than intensive farming and can be better for farm animal welfare.    However, these farming systems often struggle economically in competition with modern intensive farming methods.
