The Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales, The Research Institute in Astrophysics and Planetology, and electrical engineering giant Thales Group are in the final stages of testing a new laser spectroscopy system for NASA’s upcoming Mars 2020 rover
The Optical Society (OSA) has announced that the Guide Star Alliance has been selected to receive the 2017 Paul F Forman Team Engineering Excellence Award
MIT researchers have produced a new chip-mounted terahertz laser that has been selected by NASA to measure emissions from the interstellar medium
The ultimate instrumentation for trace gas analysis and detection in air quality monitoring as well as industrial process control would be one that can simultaneously provide a sensitive, selective, and fast, multi-gas measurement with wide dynamic range all in a compact and robust system. One of the few such promising technologies that can deliver these requirements is laser based photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS).
