Published purpose

The Project combines leading Canadian expertise in ultra-broadband mid-IR quantum light generation (Polytechnique Montreal, PolyM) and applies it to the critical mission of nanomaterial characterization and classification at the NRC, focusing on nanomaterials used in health applications. The project will develop bright squeezed entangled light sources in the SWIR and MIR for use in chemical sensing applications. The enhanced sensitivity achievable using these sources will be validated against current IR spectroscopy techniques.
