Sensor Technologies
The group is focusing on the development and innovation of new sensor concepts that allow high performance solutions at low cost. The targeted sensors are of importance to the industrial partners of the project, but are also of general world wide interest such as low cost Infra Red and Near Infra Red (IR/NIR) detectors. The program also includes the development of printed sensors for surveillance applications utilizing RFID communication solutions.
Printed wireless sensor solutions
The target in this subproject is to develop new printed sensor concepts for moisture, temperature, and chock detection. The sensors should be integrated in printed RFID technology, both passive and semi-active RFID solutions. Our goal is to develop technology that could be produced using a roll to roll paradigm. In this work we also include efficient printed antennas.

Low Cost IR-sensors
The main focus in this program is low cost technology for IR and NIR sensors using innovative concepts such as porous silicon, PbS or thin film bolometer solutions. The target is to reach real demonstrators that may be tested in the spectrometer setups available both in industry and in academia.

Near Infra Red spectroscopy
A prototype spectrometer setup has been designed that will be used in evaluation of critical parameters in the industrial applications targeted in the research program. The main target is to extract suitable detector parameters required by the application (on-line surveillance of process parameters in an MDF panel board fabrication process).
