Collaborations
Important discoveries about how to use mid-infrared (mid-IR) technologies are being made every day in universities, labs, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, and on the battlefield. These discoveries are changing the way we think about solving problems and evolving applications.
The primary purpose of this page is to collect new ideas, standards, definitions, and discoveries concerning the mid-IR. Combining your knowledge and capabilities with that of other scientists, government experts, and industry leaders will accelerate the realization of the mid-IR’s potential across all relevant markets and will benefit all who participate.
We at Daylight Solutions thank you in advance for your contributions to the collaborative segment of this site.

“There’s an enormous potential of growth for the mid-IR coming from the increased awareness of sensing needs. It’s an exciting time to be in. Universities are best when they are engaged in precompetitive research and joint development. Companies know how to deal with development and markets. Daylight constantly provides immense knowledge and guidance to the mid-IR field, and is pushing the frontiers.” Claire Gmachl, MIRTHE ERC Director
MIRTHE (Mid-Infrared Technologies for Health and the Environment), established as a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, develops mid-infrared (3-20 µm) optical trace gas sensor systems for applications in health, the environment, and homeland security. MIRTHE's goal is to work closely with industrial partners, academic institutions, and government laboratories to commercialize affordable tunable-laser sources (especially Quantum Cascade Lasers), detectors, and ultrasensitive sensor systems that are compact, portable, and reliable. MIRTHE operates testbeds and technology demonstrations in environmental sensing and human health with prototype systems deployed in the US and internationally.
