CLEANSENS is a non-dispersive infrared gas photometer used to measure the presence and concentration of high-GWP (Global Warming Potential) gases, including HFCs, PFCs, and SF6. It uses a patented dual-beam sensor to achieve a very wide dynamic range of detection. The sensor employs an electrically pulsed thin-film emitter to provide sensitivity, stability, and operating temperature tolerance.

A low-cost, opto-thermal sensing system has been designed to sense toxic gases. The micromachined sensor integrates a pulsing radiation source, a multilayer interference filter, a specially etched silicon wafer to minimize infrared light, and a micromachined gas temperature sensor into one design.
