Aerodyne Research

Aerodyne Research is a Massachusetts-based company founded in 1970, providing advanced research and development services and sensor products for environmental monitoring and atmospheric science. Headquartered in Billerica, Massachusetts, Aerodyne offers cutting-edge aerosol mass spectrometers, quantum cascade laser trace gas monitors, and particle monitoring systems. The company has commercialized compact gas analyzers based on quantum cascade lasers capable of detecting trace quantities of methane, N₂O, NO, NO₂, CO, CO₂, formaldehyde, formic acid, ethylene, acetylene, ammonia, and other gases at parts-per-billion concentrations. Aerodyne's dual quantum cascade laser spectrometers incorporate pulsed QC lasers, compact multipass absorption cells, dual detectors, and sophisticated signal processing for atmospheric trace gas detection. Serving industrial, academic, and government customers for over 50 years, Aerodyne Research provides quantum sensing technologies for environmental research, climate monitoring, industrial emissions measurement, and air quality assessment. The company's QCL-based instruments leverage quantum photonics for real-time, high-sensitivity gas detection supporting global environmental research initiatives.
