Laser Sensors

Principal Investigator Timothy Swager


We have recently demonstrated a new sensory concept wherein we achieve even greater sensory enhancements by attenuated lasing. Specifically we find that a lasing fluorescent signal is much more sensitive than the spontaneous emission to the presence of quenchers like TNT. This is a general concept and we are extending it to a number of different analytes.
