Abstract:                                                                                                                                              
  
I will describe an innovative gas sensing platform that utilizes mid infrared laser absorption spectroscopy in a hollow core fiber.  Recent systems have been developed and utilized for a variety of applications including measuring methane emitted from deep sea vents and carbon monoxide from a drone above a forest fire. Current efforts are underway to develop planetary systems with target applications including water analysis on our moon and methane analysis in the plume of Enceladus.

  In this talk I will discuss the optical design, system development, the utilization in the various field scenarios and the scientific information that can be obtained by performing in-situ trace gas and isotope measurements



About Our Speaker:Jason earned a B.S. in Physics from UC Irvine followed by a Ph.D. in Physics from UC San Diego. He then received an NRC post-doc fellowship to conduct research in Dave Wineland’s group at NIST-Boulder. He has been with OKSI in Torrance since 2002 and currently leads the Environment Sensing Division. Jason is also President and co-founder of Guiding Photonics (also in Torrance), which is a spin-off company focused on hollow core fiber optics and gas sensors.
