FLAIR 2024
The 2024 edition of the FLAIR conference (Field Laser Applications in Industry and Research) was held in Santa Maria degli Angeli – Assisi, Italy at the Domus Pacis hotel, as in 2018. Nick Davis, Dan Francis, and Jane Hodgkinson were in attendance to present three posters on their work.

Nick presented recent developments in distributed gas sensing using range resolved with hollow fibre, and Dan presented recent healthy volunteer breath measurements using tunable laser spectroscopy.
