MIRDIAL is to realize a compact and cost-effective DIAL system with the capability of performing real-time measurements of industrial and urban greenhouse gas emissions.

The solution is a highly sensitive differential absorption LIDAR system operating in the mid-infrared spectral region. To achieve high gaseous specificty we use a transmitter of widely tunable mid-infrared laser light in combination with a low-noise and very sensitive up-conversion-based nonlinear detector.

The project is a EUREKA-funded project with a consortium consisting of Danish Fundamental Metrology A/S (Denmark), HC Photonics (Taiwan), NLIR ApS (Denmark), and Cimel Electronique (France).

Amplitude targets the development of new multimodal imaging systems exploiting novel laser sources and state-of-the-art imaging and spectroscopic technologies to fulfil unmet clinical needs in terms of the specificity and accuracy of cancer diagnosis and therapy monitoring.

​

The project will develop novel ultrafast lasers that access currently unavailable wavelengths, and use them for high resolution non-linear imaging and confocal microscopy.

By combining the deeper morphological and structural information provided by these modalities with the functional/molecular information provided by metabolic imaging and Raman spectroscopy in a prototype multimodal microscope and endoscopic probe, Amplitude will deliver imaging systems offering unparalleled label-free and real-time high-resolution imaging deep inside tissues.
