The FLAIR team performed a week-long measurement campaign over the waters of the Kategatt, the strait linking the Nord Sea with the Baltic Sea. In collaboration with Explicit, a Danish company specialized in airborne pollutant detection, and Charlie9, a Helicopter company based near Copenhagen, more than 120 ships could be targeted, and their exhaust fumes analyzed. The FLAIR system has been tuned to target methane, a potent greenhouse gas, with absorption lines matching the

Radboud University has recently finished the characterization and performance verification of the new NIT camera for spectroscopy applications. “ We developed a lab-based spectroscopy system based on a supercontinuum light source from NKT, a multipass absorption cell, and the NIT MWIR camera similar to what will be used in the final setup of the FLAIR project. We are now working on the improvement of the camera performance in close collaboration with NIT.” – says Amir Khodaba

We are happy to release first movie about the project!
