RAVEN : A Horizon Europe-funded project

to tackle the increased demand for low-cost and energy-efficient air monitoring systems with improved sensitivity, precision and accuracy.

RAVEN will develop the next generation of gas sensing systems, consisting of two miniaturised gas sensors implementing cutting-edge photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology, one in the VIS-SWIR range and one in the MIR range.

These sensors will work in tandem across a broad wavelength range (600-3000 nm) to measure concentrations of multiple pollutants and GHGs, including CO2, CO, O3, CH4, N2O, CH3OH, NH3, NO2 in 1-25 ppb limit of detection (LOD) range.

The sensors will leverage cutting-edge science, including developing a high-power compact dual-supercontinuum source on a chip and on-chip data analysis using a quantum-inspired approach for improved LOD and selectivity of gases and to satisfy the performance, power consumption, size, and cost requirements of end users.
