Firefly-IR is a widely tunable, hands-free, mid- and near-infrared laser source that brings new capabilities to a host of molecular spectroscopy, remote sensing and imaging applications.
Firefly-IR offers broad mid-infrared wavelength coverage allowing users to probe the absorption features of many different molecules with a single device. With a rugged, sealed, internal maintenance-free shoebox-sized optical head, Firefly-IR is available with a choice of several standard configurations. Firefly-IR's high pulse energy and peak power afford greater detection sensitivity and standoff distances.

Applications include: environmental and safety monitoring (greenhouse gases, hydrocarbons, emissions reduction); security and defence (infrared countermeasures, remote detection and imaging of threat agents); mid-IR spectroscopy; oil/gas exploration; bio- medical diagnostics (such as p.p.m. breath monitoring); LIDAR; and eye-safe illumination.
