^®IR Microsystems develops and commercializes compact gas sensors for safety, air conditioning, medical and selected process control applications. Its “Next Generation Gas Detection” products are based on state-of-the-art telecom-type laser diodes and offer exceptional advantages compared to current gas sensor technologies.

The microLGD gas sensors are offered to OEM customers as stand-alone systems or sub-mounts for the continued monitoring of gases like NH₃, O₂, CO₂, CH₄, and H₂O. IR Microsystems' innovative products are based on a patented, reference channel-free measurement principle, using Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometry (TDLS). They position themselfs as a clear alternative to current sub-optimal detection solutions and combine unique advantages like extremely high selectivity for the target gas, functional safety, calibration-free operation, very good long-term stability, long lifetime, and excellent scalability of cost.

IR Microsystems is a leading provider of gas detection systems and subsystems for OEM's. Our competitive solutions, offer our customers the possibility to take laser diode gas detection to the monitoring and process control markets, where highly selective, functionally safe instruments with low cost-of-ownership translate directly into savings for the end-user. In order to achieve this, IR Microsystems forms strong relationships with OEM's and equipment manufacturers, to ensure that end-users can be provided with the best possible solution for their applications. Reflecting our commitment to your business, our relationship and products can be shaped for your needs.

IR Microsystems is a subsidiary of Leister Process Technologies (www.leister.com) and uses extensive synergies with Leisters' microsystems division, Axetris (www.axetris.com).
