Development of a Commercial, Reproducible NO(y) CRDS for Precise Atmospheric Research

HPD, a small business focused on development and commercialization of advanced instruments, sensors and research equipment, proposes to partner with NAOA on technology transfer and commercialization of the NO(y) Cavity Ring-Down Spectrometer for atmospheric research. Since our founding in 1993, HPD has collaborated with researchers at NAOA and other government, commercial and academic institutions to translate instrument concepts and prototypes into robust, cost-effective commercially available products. We believe that the NO(y) CRDS offers outstanding potential for commercialization based on its excellent performance and robustness and stability of the optical cavities and cage system. Our team provides over a century of collective experience in design and collaborative development of high performance instrument and atmospheric research. HPD offers the design and development expertise and processes as well as systems engineering and business acumen to achieve NOAA’s objective to make the CRDS accessible to the research community.
