Kurzbeschreibung (Englisch)

Optical gas sensing based on distributed feedback lasers

Abstract (Deutsch)

The goal of this project is the performance enhancement and cost reduction of laser diode gas monitoring systems using an innovative directional micro-optical packaging approach. At present, cumbersome and expensive noise reduction systems prevent the full commercial potential of this outstanding gas detection technology. Innovative solutions for an interference-free, highly collimated & cost-optimized micro-optical assembly will be analyzed and implemented. The achieved results will allow the realization of compact, low manufacturing cost, high-performance spectroscopic gas sensors.
