Detecting Greenhouse Gases: Key Wavelengths and Optical Technologies
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are a significant driver of global warming, making their detection and monitoring critical for environmental protection and climate change mitigation. Understanding the specific wavelengths at which these gases absorb infrared radiation helps in designing effective detection systems.
Innovation Award accepted by Omega Optical
August 4, 2024, Ayer, MA: Deep Ultra-violet (DUV) Transmission Gratings, especially those which transmit wavelength below 300nm were previously the domain of expensive Etched Fused Silica Gratings. No Longer! Omega Optical has introduced our patent-pending transmissive grating which uniquely transmits wavelengths below 200nm
