Temp1180 K
Multi-Species
Sub-ppm detection of 10+ gases in a single shot — replacing a rack of single-gas instruments.
AI-Native
Deep-learning inversion with real-time uncertainty quantification — not just a number, a decision.
Field-Validated
Proven in shock tubes at 2000 K and live Aramco greenhouse-gas field campaigns.

The Problem
Industrial gas sensing is stuck in the past.
Legacy analyzers were never built for a world of real-time emissions accountability — just as regulation makes that accountability mandatory.
01
One gas at a time
Single-species boxes, 5–20 minutes per sample. A full picture means a rack of instruments.
02
Drift & downtime
Constant recalibration drains budgets, and fragile hardware fails in harsh field conditions.
03
No intelligence
Raw readings with no uncertainty, no context and no AI — leaving operators to guess.
A regulatory tsunami is here. EU CBAM · SEC Climate Rules · UNEP Methane Pledge · Saudi Vision 2030 — all demanding continuous, auditable molecular data.
The Solution
Photonics, physics & deep learning, fused into one core.
A vertically integrated stack that turns raw mid-IR absorption into actionable, uncertainty-aware answers — in real time.
Photonic
Mid-IR Lasers
Tunable laser absorption across molecular fingerprint bands.
Physics
Forward Model
HITRAN/HITEMP-grounded spectral physics for every species.
Deep Learning
Neural Inversion
1D-CNNs + VAEs with full uncertainty quantification.
Output: concentrations + temperature + pressure + uncertainty → SCADA · Cloud · API
