European consortium investigates fiberoptic chemical sensing

A research project on the remote sensing of gases and vapors using optical fiber is being coordinated at the University of Sussex (Brighton, England) in collaboration with the French National Institute of Environment and Industrial Risk and the Italian instrumentation company Tecsa Ricerca and Innovazione. The university will develo¥infrared fiber delivery and sensing techniques, while the other partners will provide expertise in tunable laser-diode spectroscopy, gas and vapor handling, and
