Ekips Technologies has expertise in both lasers and laser systems.  We are currently designing and building mid-infrared laser absorption spectroscopy systems for measurement of specific gas phase molecules.  Utilizing some of the latest advances in solid state electronic devices, digital signal processor (DSP) chips, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), software engineering, and mechanical engineering, our engineering team has successfully created a series of prototype instruments designed primarily for life science applications such as breath analysis.

The technologies involved in our products continue to advance at a steady pace.  Based on expected future improvements, we anticipate a reduction in the size of our laser-based chemical sensors from a tabletop form factor to a handheld form factor. Achieving this advance, for example, will require development of improved mid-infrared lasers.  Ekips’ proprietary CoolEpi technology provides a viable approach for fabricating lasers that have efficient operation at room temperature, features that will enable creation of handheld laser-based sensors designed to measure biologically important molecules.
