French research lab Leti has launched a consortium to develop mid-infra-red photonic ICs for portable optical sensors that analyse gases and liquids, initially for the petrochemical and dairy industries. The ICs, integrated on millimetre-size CMOS silicon chips, will “create extremely robust miniature systems, in which discrete components are replaced by on-chip equivalents”, said Leti. “This makes them easier ...
