Název projektu:
Low Cost Reliable Near Infrared Source for Automotive Use (11 LU 87GA 3MLM)
Popis:
A large US company is looking for proposals for the supply of a reliable, small and low cost near infrared source that is suitable for automotive use.
They are interested in supplier agreement, licensing, proof of concept leading to scale up to manufacturing, joint development.
Continental developed an on-board spectrometer for the analysis of automotive liquids like fuel or the "AdBlue" liquid.
Near Infrared Radiation (NIR) is the perfect tool to handle such analysis since the spectra contain absorbance bands of the molecular bonds of interest (C-H, O-H, N-H).
Within NIR the spectral range from 1500 to 2500 nm offers the best performance in terms of measurement accuracy and integration with the vehicle. This region includes the so called 1st overtone IR band which gives specific advantages compared to shorter wavelengths: strong absorbance band intensities, and needing only a short optical path within the liquids.
Both the spectrometer and the receiver units are developed but currently the right emitter, combining reliability, size and cost, has not yet been identified.
Possible approaches might include, but are not limited to:
-Novel black body emitters
-LED based solutions
-Semiconductor or MOEMS solutions.
The following approaches are not of interest:
-Standard incandescent IR lamps that are not reliable enough
-Specific lamps fitted with high reliability features (e.g. ruggedized filament).
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
The successful technology will:
- Have a spectral output range from 1500 to 2500 nm
- Be highly efficient and have a low power consumption (max. 1000mW)
Have a control voltage of preferably 5V yet 12V is acceptable if needed
Have a maximum current draw of 150 mA
Have a warm-up time of a few seconds
The source can be either pulsed rate or operate continuously
- Give an emitter and an emitter optical extend (emitter size x emission angle) that is as small as possible (emissive area size of about 2x2mm² can be used)
- Be able to operate between -40°C and +125°C
- Be able to withstand vibrations up to 10G applied on the sinewave
- Have a target lifetime of 25.000 hours within automotive conditions
- Be produced at high volumes (possibly several million units per year) at a cost affordable for the automotive industry
- Be adequately packaged to allow protection for the emitter form heat, dirt and moisture.
