Developer of spectroscopy monitoring solutions, Cascade Technologies, along with Morpho, has deployed a latest optical spectroscopy system for a trial at the Glasgow airport. The optical spectroscopy system is based on the mid-IR quantum-cascade laser.
The portal system enables swift identification of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and home made explosives in real-time by analyzing air samples without capturing passenger images or using ionizing radiation.
The optical spectroscopy system has already been deployed for monitoring, measuring, and detecting gases in industrial emissions and processes. The technology offers distinct capabilities for detecting gases in terms of discrimination and measurement speed. It is ideal for airport security checkpoints, which need low-false-alarm standards and high convenience.
Morpho’s Chief Executive Officer, Jean-Paul Jainsky stated that the company is delighted to collaborate with Cascade Technologies for developing the spectroscopy system. Jainsky added that the company’s detection technologies and the experience of Cascade Technologies would contribute to developing high-quality airport control security solutions.
