LIFeLiDAR SAS designs and manufactures laser-induced fluorescence LiDAR instruments for aquatic measurement. Its sensors can be installed on vessels, uncrewed platforms, and fixed stations to record fluorescence from phytoplankton pigments, dissolved organic matter, hydrocarbons, plastics, and suspended matter. The company is based in Valbonne, Sophia Antipolis, and is supported by France 2030, French Deeptech, and Région Sud.
LIFeLiDAR SAS is a French scientific-instrument company founded in 2022 and based in Valbonne, Sophia Antipolis. It develops laser-induced fluorescence LiDAR instruments for aquatic measurement. The instruments illuminate water with ultraviolet and visible laser pulses, then analyse the returning fluorescence to distinguish signals associated with phytoplankton pigments, coloured dissolved organic matter, hydrocarbons, plastics, and suspended matter. The LIFL-11 records up to 48 spectral bands across four detection channels. Compact instruments extend the same measurement approach to fixed stations and mobile platforms, while a passive hyperspectral radiometer supplies complementary optical context. The 9-person team draws on more than twenty years of research and field surveys at over fifty water sites. LIFeLiDAR works with research laboratories, public authorities, port and industrial operators, and organisations conducting satellite calibration and validation.
