Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This flagship research proposal describes a planned investigation - with the clear intention of commercial application - into gas and gas mixture detection by means of a correlation spectroscopy approach. The aim is to make a significant impact in the advance of this sensor technology, and in doing so meet the needs of a number of industrial partners in collaboration with the University of Southampton, each with a defined area of sensor interest. Applications will involve real-time in-situ gas detection and considerable potential exists for the commercial exploitation of research successfully generated by this project.This gas detection method will advance the use of optical fibre technology to enable the remote location of a sensor head separate from the central optoelectronic interrogation unit. In addition, it will also be developed for miniaturised (i.e. hand-held) device applications. Throughout the project, emphasis will be on the development of a suitably selective sensing devices capable of identifying individual gas constituents in a mixture. The research is envisaged to lead to the development of prototype gas sensing devices, based on each approach, which will be thoroughly tested during development and after final construction.
