CHEQUERS - Hand-held hazardous material scanner

The project partners will develop an improved technology for the stand-off detection of explosive or hazardous materials using tunable quantum cascade lasers. The partners will combine advanced rapidly and broadly frequency agile quantum cascade laser source technology with compact, low cost imagers for applications in the field of civil security such as the identification of hazardous materials on location, for example to prevent terrorist attacks or investigate accidents in industrial facilities.
