Michal Nikodem and Gerard Wysocki Electrical Engineering Department, Princeton University Email: mnikodem@princeton.edu, web: pulse.princeton.edu Chirped laser dispersion spectroscopy (CLaDS) for gas sensing • Addressable market >$1B annually worldwide* • *MNT Gas Sensor Forum • Applications: • Industrial process control • Environmental monitoring • Current methods have performanceissues and new technologies areneeded to address them • CLaDS is the answer news.thomasnet.com • CLaDS = known hardware tested for years + innovative idea • Extended dynamic range of concentration measurements • Linear response • Immunity to detected intensity fluctuations • Better performance for the same price (~$10k/unit once developed)
Chirped laser dispersion spectroscopy (CLaDS) for gas sensing • Already tested in field (technological risk is minimized) • Collaboration with industrial partner on CLaDS sensor testing and prototyping is ongoing • Prototype development stage (until mid-2013) already founded with STTR grant ($200k) • Commercialization Strategy after 2013: product development (SBIR/STTR grants or industrial partners) or technology licensing CLaDS sensor deployment in Baltimore, MD October 2011 sensing path Patent application filed Development of sensor for methane leak detection 2012 2013 2010 2011 Sensor prototype tested against industrial standards First experiments First testsinfield Email: mnikodem@princeton.edu, web: pulse.princeton.edu
