Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
In two recent EPSRC funded research programmes, we have developed novel optical image sensors which offer a unique capability to image optical signals that cannot be detected by conventional image detectors such as CCD cameras.An excellent business opportunity exists in the design and manufacture of camera systems for laser Doppler imaging of flows and vibrations due to the wide range of applications. We require funding to demonstrate the commercial potential of the sensors to potential investors and to solidify and strengthen our patent claims. The proposed project will produce a water-tight patent and a portfolio of images of flows and vibrations to be used as part of a marketing pack with which we can enthuse potential industrial partners and subsequently entice Venture Capital Funding. We will produce a prototype camera based around one of our sensors, to be used as a demonstrator for industry to evaluate the technology, therefore providing a tangible proof of concept.This project will ensure that the outcomes of the previous research are taken up by users and will demonstrate to investors the commercial viability and marketability of such a range of cameras.
