Mid-infrared tunable laser-based trace gas sensing for ambient air quality monitoring

Shruti De's research interest focuses on mid-infrared quantum cascade laser-based spectroscopy for air quality monitoring. She obtained her MTech degree in Optics and Optoelectronics from the University of Calcutta. Her MTech thesis focussed on the development of a device that can measure the refractive index of a liquid sample quickly using lateral shift dependent light transmission mask with great accuracy. The work resulted in a patent. She authored a conference paper entitled "Refractive Index Measurements of Liquids Using Moiré Pattern".

 

Apart from spending time on her research, she enjoys playing guitar, singing songs and classical dance.
