STTR Phase I: Diffractive Imaging Micro-Spectrometer

这个小企业技术转让研究项目是为整个可见光谱范围开发一种超紧凑型衍射成像显微光谱仪。 该分光光度计可以与几十个独立的光学输入一起操作，并且在宽光谱范围内提供高分辨率。这种紧凑的低成本分光光度计可以使各种各样的手持式检测传感器能够用于化学传感和生物制剂的检测。 该光谱仪具有大规模生产和大规模部署的能力，这使得它对化学传感和生物威胁等国土安全应用具有吸引力。具有这种尺寸的设备本身重量轻且坚固耐用，这使得其可用于诸如无人驾驶飞行器之类的国防应用。该设备还补充了芯片实验室的概念。

This Small Business Technology Transfer Research project is for the development of an ultra-compact Diffractive Imaging Micro-Spectrometer for the entire visible spectral range. The spectrophotometer can operate with dozens of independent optical inputs and provide high resolving power in a wide spectral range.This compact low cost spectrophotometer may enable a wide variety of handheld detection sensors for use in chemical sensing and the detection of biological agents. This spectrometer has the ability to be mass produced and mass deployed which makes it attractive for homeland Security applications such as chemical sensing and bio-threats. A device with such size is inherently lightweight and rugged which makes it useful for defense applications such as un-manned airborne vehicles. The device also compliments lab-on-chip concepts.
