S-CALe Up
As a continuation of the chipS·CALe project, S-CALe Up aims to extend the spectral range of self-calibrating photodiodes to include UV and near-infrared light, and to demonstrate their use in various practical applications.
As a continuation of the chipS·CALe project, S-CALe Up aims to extend the spectral range of self-calibrating photodiodes to include UV and near-infrared light, and to demonstrate their use in various practical applications.
The S-CALe Up project started on 1 June 2023 and runs until 31 May 2026. It is coordinated by the Norwegian Metrology Service (JV). The overarching goal of the project is to demonstrate the use of detectors developed in the chipS·CALe project and related technologies as a “JV-on-a-chip” in different applications, as well as to develop and produce new detectors and methods that provide improved and simplified traceability across a spectral range from UV to near-infrared (IR).
S-CALe Up involves 14 partners, with EU funding of €2.325 million (NOK 27.0 million) and a total budget of €2.555 million (NOK 29.7 million), including contributions from associated and unpaid partners. Most of the technology development takes place in Norway, with contributions from SINTEF, IFE and USN, in addition to the work of the Norwegian Metrology Service itself. Of the total EU funding of NOK 27 million, NOK 12.7 million is allocated to Norwegian partners. Altogether, the EU is investing more than NOK 45 million to enable the Norwegian Metrology Service to lead the development of new and improved radiometric technology and measurement techniques through the chipS·CALe and S-CALe Up projects.
The project has stakeholders from European industry, standardisation bodies, climate and environmental monitoring organisations, healthcare, industry and international metrology institutions both within and outside Europe, who are following the project closely.
