This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I research project will demonstrate the utility of infrared planar array technology to study water pollutants such as industrial contaminants and biological impurities. It is proposed to design and build a compact, high-sensitivity, double beam infrared instrument based on focal plane array detection, which meets or exceeds performance standards of commercially available devices and is able to operate in ambient environments to provide measurements of dilute concentrations of organic and biological contaminants. Infrared spectroscopy has the molecular specificity to provide both qualitative identification of contaminants and quantitative measurement of concentrations. However, existing IR instruments based on Fourier transform techniques are limited in their ability to make these measurements rapidly under ambient conditions. The research will apply this innovative technology to enable real time effluent detection from a manufacturing site such as that found at chemical company sites to realize tangible savings from being able to pro-actively identify and measure the presence of pollutants. This reconfigurable and potentially portable instrument will assist scientists (academic, industrial and government) who work in analytical labs and require high speed measurements and/or those involved in environmental monitoring where sensing speed is important.

这项小型企业技术转移（STTR）I期研究项目将证明红外平面阵列技术在研究水污染物（例如工业污染物和生物杂质）等效用。提议根据焦平面阵列检测设计和建造紧凑的高敏性，双光束红外仪器，该仪器阵列检测符合或超过商业上可用设备的性能标准，并能够在环境环境中运行以提供稀释浓度的有机和生物污染物的浓度。红外光谱具有分子特异性，可以提供污染物的定性鉴定和浓度的定量测量。但是，基于傅立叶变换技术的现有IR仪器的能力有限，在环境条件下快速进行这些测量。该研究将应用这项创新技术来从制造地点进行实时废水检测，例如在化学公司站点发现的实时污水，从而实现了有形的节省，从可以积极地识别和衡量污染物的存在。这种可重新配置的和潜在的便携式工具将帮助在分析实验室工作，需要高速测量和/或参与环境监测的科学家（学术，工业和政府），其中感应速度很重要。
