SubsidieMeestersMiniature Trace Gas Analyzers with FFP microcavities
The project aims to develop and commercialize hand-held gas analyzers using Fiber Fabry-Perot microcavity technology for efficient methane detection and emission measurements.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) microcavity technology developed in the ERC project EQUEMI enables hand-held gas analyzers based on cavity-enhanced laser spectroscopy with a combination of small size and high performance that does not exist in any commercial instrument today.
Technology Features
Furthermore, the FFP principle also enables fiber-coupled arrays of cost-effective, passive remote sensors read out by one central unit using scalable fiber multiplexing technology developed for the telecom market.
Advantages
Both features enable:
- Fast, easy, and cost-effective emission measurements of GHG and other trace gases in areas where they are not practically feasible today.
- The microscopic size of FFP cavities means that extremely small gas samples (below one microliter cavity volume) can be analyzed.
- High bandwidth can be achieved with low gas throughput.
Project Proposal
Here we propose to demonstrate the performance of such instruments by building a demonstrator for methane detection, investigate market potential, and prepare commercialization with a team of founders that is already in place.
