Gas Properties Sensors

Gas sensors measure the concentrations of gas species in a range of industrial settings.

Photoluminescent Silicon on Silica: These pieces of silica aerogel have been coated with silicon nanoparticles 
		using chemical vapor methods. The composites emit red light when excited with ultraviolet light.

Optical Oxygen Sensor Using Silica Aerogel

Silica-aerogel-based optical sensors are inexpensive, non-invasive oxygen sensors that operate most accurately in the concentration range of zero to 30% oxygen or air pressure from 1 to 1,000 millibar.
