The principal objective of MICRO-Sense is to realize a novel mid-infrared nanophotonic sensing platform for trace gas detection, which will be unique in terms of sensitivity and size. Using a new design of free-standing slot waveguides cladded with a sensitive layer, 1000-times higher sensitivity is targeted as compared to existing sensors within the same price and size category.
