Captec have been an expert and responsive partner, working closely with our engineers to develop a universal solution that has been integrated in a number of products. The challenges were effi ciently overcome, and we will continue to work with Captec as we develop the next generation of gas sensors.
Product Manager
THE CUSTOMER
The solution is for an innovative technology company utilising quantum cascade lasers in a variety of gas sensing applications. A quantum cascade laser is a mid infrared light source that can be used to interrogate the spectral fingerprint of a wide variety of small molecules, enabling quantitative detection of atmospheric constituents such as methane and nitrous oxide, and pollutants including NOx and carbon monoxide.
