Summary
Integrated mid-infrared optical microcavity sensors. Toxic or illicit substances such as poisons, drugs and explosives can be identified from the way they absorb specific frequencies of light in the mid-infrared. This project will develop a new kind of molecule-specific, optical sensor capable of detecting trace quantities of such materials.
