Screen-Printed Microcantilevers for Environmental Sensing

  • Simon Grall,
  • Hélène Debéda,
  • Isabelle Dufour and
  • Vincent Aubry

This work investigates different geometries for fully screen-printed self-actuated self-readout microcantilevers made using a sacrificial layer process. The microcantilevers are made of PZT sandwiched between two gold electrodes. Q-factors as high as...

First Steps towards a Super-Compact In-Situ Laser-Induced-Incandescence Sensor System

  • Martin Kupper,
  • Jožef Pulko,
  • Martin Kraft and
  • Alexander Bergmann

To realize an actual in-situ Laser-Induced Incandescence (LII) sensor system for measurements in an exhaust pipe of a combustion engine, suitable components for such an application were chosen, integrated in a first prototype and tested. Key componen...
