SBIR/STTR Phase II: Cavity Ringdown Evanescent Wave Fiber Optic Sensor

这个小型企业创新研究二期项目计划开发一种新的基于光纤的化学传感器技术，该技术可以用于对气体和液体环境进行快速痕量化学分析，而不需要耗时的样品提取和准备。这种新的微型传感技术将结合光纤、增强的吸收分析技术以及最终的无线互联网通信的各个方面。这项技术将为商业和政府用户提供一个可以在大范围内廉价联网的化学监测系统。这种传感器网络可以通过互联网从任何安全的计算机上实时监测，提供与化学品处理和运输有关的实时信息，以及用于监测泄漏和危险事故。这样的系统可以被用作大型工厂设施和社区的警报网络。这项技术正在与一家成熟的光纤传感器供应商合作，开发用于几个领域的商业应用，用于储存设施和工业设施周围的化学品痕量检测。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project plans to develop a new fiber based chemical sensor technology that can be used to make rapid trace chemical analysis of gaseous and liquid environments without the need for time consuming sample extraction and preparation. This new miniature sensing technology will combine aspects of fiber optics, enhanced absorption analysis techniques, and ultimately wireless internet communications. This technology will provide commercial and government users a chemical monitoring system which can be inexpensively networked over wide areas. Such a network of sensors can be monitored in real time from any secured computer via the Internet, providing real time information relating to chemical processing and transport, as well as for the monitoring of leaks and hazardous accidents. Such a system could be used as a warning network for large plant facilities and neighborhoods. This technology is being developed for commercial application in several areas in collaboration with an established fiber sensor supplier for trace detection of chemicals around storage facilities and industrial facilities.
