Silicon Photonics for On-Chip Trace-Gas Spectroscopy

Published: 28 September 2016 Publication History

Abstract

Natural gas leaks from production wells and pipelines pose a significant environmental risk due to the strong greenhouse effect caused by its main constituent, methane. We present a silicon photonic trace-gas sensing platform, which uses laser spectroscopy to realize cost-effective sensor networks for fugitive methane emission monitoring.
