The MOSAIC project: Multimodal Optical Sensor Applications, Interfaces, and Controls
FY 2013-14
Summary
The MOSAIC project aims at the development of a wired sensor plaform for multiple applications in resourceextraction, environmental monitoring, and biomedical instrumentation. Based on recent discoveries by theteam of investigators from Carleton University and the National Research Council of Canada, novel sensorsdevices made from modified optical fibres will be developed and integrated into practical instrumentation andsystems for the aforementioned applications. The latest advances in Nanoscience will be put to use in order tocreate sensor technologies that are highly selective and accurate. The benefits of wired sensor arrays becomeessential in areas where wireless sensors cannot be used, such as underground, underwater, and in areas whereelectrical signals may prove hazardous. MOSAIC will also address the issues of sensor integration,communicatation, and multiplexing. Private sector partners involved in the commercialization of suchtechnologies will ensure that the research outcomes from MOSAIC yield the most benefits for Canada.
