- Worlds first practical demonstration of CO2 sensing using pseudo-random modulated CW LIDAR exploiting photon counting sensitivity for detection. The work has led on to a methane sensing LIDAR using COTS laser diode and photon detector with low size weight and power suitable for drone mounting (ISCF grant SPRINGS103876, EP/R022054/1). We have identified applications to oil and gas prospecting and this has led to the formation of a start-up (QLM tech) to commercialise the technology in a variety of markets including automotive, hydrocarbon prospecting and leak detection. The continuing work contributes to the quantum technology hub QUANTIC (EP/T00097X/1 £22M).
