This is a close-up view of the “spectrometer-on-a-chip” technology that could dramatically reduce the size of spectrometers in the future. (Credit: NASA Goddard/Chris Gunn) The Composite Infrared ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.240099 discusses an on-chip spectrometer with high performance, low power-consumption and simple control logic. The miniaturized ...

An international team of researchers has developed a mid-infrared spectrometer smaller than the diameter of a human hair. With potential applications that range from detecting greenhouse gases to ...

SNSPDs have been widely used in various applications requiring single photon detection thanks to their attractive performances. Since SNSPDs are thin films of serval nanometers in thickness, they are ...

Low-cost, polymer-based spectrometer circuits developed in Germany could inspire a whole range of hand-held and miniature products. James Tyrrell finds out more. Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute ...
