Infrared laser spectroscopy on chip at your fingertips
Sensing applications take a big step forward, thanks to a photonic chip spectrometer that delivers the performance of a table-top laboratory instrument and fits in 5 square millimeters. We selected a 4-channel configuration hybrid GaSb/SOI sensor to demonstrate the promise of our technology, because this provides a spectrometer that is suitable for many applications. For instance, applications involving the sensing of liquid-phase objects, such as fluids or tissue, require a large spectral bandwidth. Typically, a bandwidth between 200 nm and 300 nm is sufficient for monitoring one or more molecules with absorption in the same spectral region. With our spectral region of choice, spanning 1850 nm to 2450 nm, we can cover various molecules, including glucose, lactate, urea, ethanol, lactose, albumin, cholesterol, milk fat and milk protein.
