PR - Daylight Solutions, Inc., a leading manufacturer of molecular detection
and imaging solutions in the mid-infrared, announced today that the
company has been awarded a Phase 1 Small Business Innovation Research
(SBIR) award from the Department of Energy (DOE). The SBIR will be used
to further advance Daylight’s platform sensor
technology as it applies to measuring atmospheric fluxes and
concentrations of carbon isotopes in carbon dioxide (CO2).
The project is focused on the design and assembly of a compact, portable
sensor that provides highly accurate, real-time concentration
measurements. The sensor will be based upon Daylight’s
patented technology in rapidly tunable, external-cavity quantum cascade
lasers.
“Replacing traditional mass spectrometry and
cryogenically-cooled mid-infrared laser technologies with Daylight’s
highly advanced miniaturized systems, offers many advantages. This is
particularly true in field deployable situations, where remote,
real-time measurements are required,” says
company CEO, Dr. Timothy Day. “We are excited
to be applying Daylight’s technology in ways
that assist and promote the atmospheric sciences community.”
