Algal Bloom Early Detection System

Patented system that detects harmful algal bloom cells early by combining non-contact Raman “fingerprints” with light field and darkfield microscopy for faster, more confident identification.

RadBand Seawater Monitoring Bracelet

This technology is a wearable or towable sampling device that can be immersed in water to collect chemicals of interest onto a sorbent material. It also records basic context during sampling, such as time, location, and water conditions. After deployment, laboratory analysis of what was captured on the sorbent can be used to estimate the concentration of a target substance in the water.

Submersible Interferometric Sensor

This technology reads an interferometer signal using a standard spectrometer. It calculates absolute optical path length difference with very high precision, even when the spectrometer samples are not spaced in the usual “quadrature” way. It has a resolution from 1/1,000 to 1/100,000 of a wavelength, which supports high-precision sensing of parameters like refractive index, which can be used for salinity and density.
