The Optical Society of America (OSA) has shifted its Optical Sensors and Sensing Congress to an all-virtual web conference format, free to attendees. The event will be held June 22–26, 2020.
OSA’s Optical Sensors and Sensing Congress provides a forum to facilitate reporting on the latest optical-based sensor advances, bring together major sensor developers and users, and provide a showcase for the latest sensor prototypes and products.
The conference program includes five core topic areas: applied industrial spectroscopy; laser applications to chemical, security, and environmental analysis; optical sensors; optics, and photonics for sensing the environment; and propagation through and characterization of atmospheric and oceanic phenomena. Each topic area will include a mix of plenary, keynote, and tutorial sessions, and poster presentations. Within the Applied Industrial Spectroscopy Topical meetings there are sessions on agriphotonics, process spectroscopy, applications in extraction industries and harsh environments, mobile spectroscopy, and bridging from data to information.
Technical sessions will be presented live from the Pacific Daylight Time Zone (PDT) with a recorded archive available later for on-demand viewing.
More information about the event, including how to register for free, is available on the society’s website, at

Sensi+, fast, accurate and reliable monitoring of H₂S, H₂O and CO₂ in natural gas
October 31st 2024Sensi+ is a compact natural gas contaminants analyzer based on a unique tunable diode laser (TDL) technology called Off-Axis Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy (OA-ICOS™). The technology accurately, reliably, and simultaneously measures corrosive substances such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and water in real-time within complex and time-varying natural gas streams. Mitigating the risks and effects of contaminants in natural gas can be challenging for pipeline operators, process industries, and natural gas utilities. These companies must manage various technologies and devices to achieve a comprehensive analysis, which can be complex, prone to failure, and costly. ABB's revolutionary Sensi+™ analyzer answers these issues.
