Influence of aerosol acidity and organic ligands on transition metal solubility and oxidative potential of fine particulate matter in urban environments

The adverse health effects of air pollution around the world have been associated with the inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Such outcomes are thought to be related to the induction of oxidative stress due to the excess formation of reactive o ...

Tunable optical filter of porous silicon as key component for a MEMS spectrometer

Philippe Renaud, Sandra Schweizer, Gerhard Lammel

We present a microspectrometer based on a tunable interference filter for infrared or visible light that scans the desired part of the spectrum within milliseconds. A single pixel detector measures serially the intensity at selected wavelengths. This conce ...

MEMS infrared gas spectrometer based on a porous silicon tunable filter

Philippe Renaud, Sandra Schweizer, Gerhard Lammel

We present a MEMS infrared spectrometer for selective and quantitative chemical gas analysis. infrared absorption spectroscopy can distinguish gases easily and also detect nonreactive molecules like CO2, in contrast to e.g. metal oxide gas sensors The foll ...

MEMS spectrometer for infrared gas analysis based on a tunable filter of porous silicon

Philippe Renaud, Sandra Schweizer, Gerhard Lammel

We present a MEMS infrared spectrometer for selective and quantitative chemical gas analysis. It contains a tunable optical filter of porous silicon that allows to measure the infrared absorption of a gas mixture at different wavelengths serially with only ...

Two-dimensional thermally actuated optical microprojection

Philippe Renaud, Sandra Schweizer, Gerhard Lammel

A dual-axis, raster-scanning laser display based on a monolithic micromachined scanner is presented. The scanner consists of a mirror located at the end of a thermally actuated bimorph beam. The novelty of the device is that the two orthogonal angular moti ...
