Research abstract
This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is designed to build a prototype miniature fiber optic NOx sensor for the control of auto emissions. The proposed sensor is based upon a company invention on miniature chemilluminescence detector for gas chromatography. The prototype will be miniature in size (4 cubic inch approximately), weight (1/2 lb) and capable of ppt level detection as a result of the innovative design.
Commercial applications will focus on pollution monitoring, insitu auto NOx emission monitoring and reduction, and biochemical/drug analysis when coupled with a miniature catalytic converter.
