The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to Princeton University. The grant supports the development of an innovative laser sensing technology platform that will employ dual-comb spectroscopy and quantum cascade laser frequency combs to enable three-dimensional localization and quantification of multiple atmospheric trace gas emissions. The novel chemical sensing system will integrate with lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles to provide rapid, cost-effective monitoring of greenhouse gases, toxic air pollutants, and other volatile compounds over large areas. This project represents convergent research in physics, engineering, applied mathematics, and optics, and will contribute to workforce development across the STEM fields.
