E-SPECTR:
Excitation Spectroscopy Sensor

FET Innovation Launchpad Project

CORDIS Information

The characterisation of materials and processes is critical to basic and applied science in many fields. Spectroscopy, the measurement of the absorption and emission of light and other radiation by matter, is a valuable tool. The EU-funded E-SPECTR project will optimise and prepare to commercialise its award-winning sensing approach, excitation spectroscopy. It is based on the excitation response dynamics of samples in an alternating electric field to optical, magnetic or thermal excitation, which provide information about the structure, behaviour and dielectric/electrochemical properties of objects and materials. The optimised technology will be tested in water quality monitoring and identification of complex biochemical substances during wine and honey production.
