Research abstract
We will develop a novel gas sensor concept utilizing our proprietary hollow fiber gas cell. The approach has the following advantages: real-time, in-line, broad range of species, high dynamic range, calibration-free, and low SWaP. In Phase I, we will leverage synergistic projects to demonstrate the concept, explore trade-offs, and develop optimized prototype designs for both NASA and commercial applications.
