DTU built a 3MHz stable and portable 1.46µ-10.46µm supercontinuum source for pollution monitoring
DTU built long wavelength mid-infrared supercontinuum source that is intended for operation in an airborne gas spectroscopy system for pollution monitoring as a part of the EU project FLying ultrA-broadband single-shot InfraRed Sensor (FLAIR). The 3MHz SC laser emit 86.6 mW output power with a spectrum spanning 1.46 µm-10.46 µm and packaged in a form factor of 47.4 cm x 30.0 cm x 13.45 cm. The average power fluctuation of the supercontinuum laser is 0.43% standard deviatio
FLAIR flight test
On June 24th 2020 FLAIR Consortium successfully performed first flying test in Beromünster, Switzerland. Collaborative research journey started in 2016 led to its first testing flight to validate FLAIR system functionality. For the initial flight was used Zeppelin platform and test was controlled by scientists from EMPA and CSEM. Test successfully measured elevated methane concentration when flying above the controlled release installation. At the moment FLAIR Consortium eval
