 Currently, gas detection technologies are mostly based on electrochemical and semiconductor adsorption types. However, these technologies face limitations such as high costs, short lifespans, and restrictions related to material types, which consequently restrict their applications in various fields.

In comparison, optical gas detectors have distinctive features in terms of cost, lifespan, and detection diversity. Leveraging Taiwan Nano & Micro-Photonics' exclusive technology, they pioneered the generation of specific mid-to-long-wave infrared light (MWIR~LWIR) based on silicon photonics technology to detect the target gases. This approach is designed to achieve specific gas detection goals, and the technology can also be applied to the detection of certain liquids or solids.

This light emission chip features a wide operating range of temperature, high precision, high sensitivity, low power consumption, and high-power light output. It is suitable for various application environments, including home environments, physiological indicators, industrial gas detection, and automotive detection.
