Public award description
COMPACT, ULTRASENSITIVE SO2 MONITOR THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PHASE I PROPOSAL SEEKS TO DEVELOP AN ULTRASENSITIVE, LASER-BASED SULFUR DIOXIDE GAS SENSOR SYSTEM FOR AIRBORNE AND GROUND-BASED ATMOSPHERIC MONITORING. THE PROPOSED INSTRUMENT WILL BE CAPABLE OF ACCURATELY DETERMINING SUB-PARTS-PER-BILLION SO2 CONCENTRATIONS IN SECONDS. THIS COMPACT, INSTRUMENT WILL BE CAPABLE OF LONG-TERM AUTONOMOUS OPERATION AND HAVE MODEST POWER REQUIREMENTS. THE PHASE I RESEARCH WILL DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE TECHNOLOGY BY PERFORMING MEASUREMENTS ON SO2 SAMPLES USING A BENCH-SCALE LABORATORY INSTRUMENT THAT EMPLOYS A NOVEL, FREQUENCY AGILE UV LASER SOURCE. THE RESULTS OF THESE TESTS WILL BE USED TO QUANTIFY DETECTION LIMITS FOR A PHASE II INSTRUMENT. COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS BASED ON THE PHASE II PROTOTYPE WILL BE DEVELOPED AND MARKETED DURING PHASE III.
