Technology Innovation Development Award (TIDA) from Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and Enterprise Ireland (EI). A fund to enable researchers to produce novel technologies for commercialisation and to realise greater economic impact from state investments in research.
Frequency comb sources are a promising tool for spectroscopic absorption detection of multiple trace gases in the infra-red region of the spectrum. They possess a high degree of adaptability and flexibility in terms of potential target species. Proof-of-principle experiments are to be performed using a custom-designed frequency comb source for the development of a proto-type instrument for the simultaneous detection of multiple gases or gas phase isotopologues with high time resolution.
Objectives
To demonstrate the feasibility of frequency comb sources for spectroscopic absorption.
To build an in situ robust proto-type for multiple trace gas detection.
To commercialise the product for end users.
To improve existing industrial processes for gas detection.
