Advanced infrared and hyperspectral technologies

Exosens leverages its expertise in photonics, infrared imaging, and spectroscopy to develop high-performance solutions for environmental applications.

Its technologies include:

•    infrared imaging in SWIR, MWIR and LWIR spectral ranges 
•    high-performance cooled and uncooled infrared cameras, cores, and sensors 
•    hyperspectral infrared imaging systems 
•    spectroscopy technologies, including FTIR and remote sensing 
•    Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) solutions 
•    ultraviolet (UV) imaging technologies, including solar-blind UV detection for partial discharge monitoring 
•    Atmospheric Sounder Spectrometer for Infrared Spectral Technology

These technologies enable detection and analysis of gases and emissions in environments where signals are difficult to capture, supporting accurate and reliable monitoring.
They also enable the detection of phenomena invisible to the naked eye, such as gas leaks, thermal anomalies, and corona discharges in electrical infrastructures.

Supporting environmental monitoring applications

Exosens solutions are used across a wide range of environmental monitoring applications, enabling detection, analysis, and reporting of emissions and pollutants.

Key applications include:

•    Gas leak detection
Monitoring pipelines and industrial infrastructures to detect leaks from production to distribution 

•    Emission monitoring
Detection and analysis of gases such as methane, NOx, ammonia, SO₂, SO₃, SF₆ and oxygen

•    Oil & Gas facilities monitoring
Control and reduction of emissions within and around industrial sites 

•    Airborne environmental monitoring
Hyperspectral and infrared imaging systems used for aerial detection and mapping of gas emissions 

•    Environmental analysis and reporting
Collection, processing, and analysis of infrared data to identify and quantify emissions, including georeferenced imaging and detailed detection reports 

•    Power line monitoring and inspection
Detection of defects and anomalies in high-voltage transmission lines through advanced imaging technologies 

•    Corona discharge detection
Early detection of partial electrical discharges in high-voltage infrastructures, which generate ultraviolet emissions and can lead to energy losses, equipment degradation, and environmental risks such as ozone generation and wildfire hazards

These applications support both continuous monitoring and targeted inspection campaigns.

Designed for integration and operational efficiency

Exosens develops solutions tailored to the needs of OEMs, system integrators, and operators working in environmental monitoring.

Its approach includes:

•    modular and flexible imaging platforms such as NoxEngine 
•    compact, energy-efficient systems designed for complex environments 
•    turnkey solutions combining sensors, optics, and data processing 
•    solutions designed for integration into airborne and ground-based systems

Technologies such as solar-blind UV cameras, MWIR and LWIR thermal cameras can be combined with visible imaging systems to enable comprehensive diagnostics, improving defect detection and predictive maintenance capabilities.

This enables efficient deployment and seamless integration into environmental monitoring workflows.

Delivering value for safety, compliance and sustainability

Exosens solutions are engineered to deliver measurable value in environmental applications:

•    improved detection of emissions and gas leaks 
•    reduced environmental risks and pollution impact 
•    enhanced safety for operators and surrounding populations 
•    reduced maintenance costs and field interventions 
•    support for regulatory compliance through reliable data and reporting 
•    early detection of electrical defects in power grids, reducing energy losses and preventing infrastructure failures 
•    reduced exposure of operators to hazardous environments through remote and non-contact inspection technologies

By combining SUV, infrared imaging, hyperspectral technologies, and advanced data analysis, Exosens helps organizations better understand, monitor, and manage their environmental impact.
