NanoLambda, Inc has requested support for a one year membership to the Agile Innovation System that was recently selected as the recipient of the Economic Development Administrations Region 1 i6 award. In collaboration with the "Agile Innovation Process" project team, this proposal will complete the monolithic fabrication of the nano-optic filter array structure directly onto the CMOS detector array on a wafer scale, to form a spectrometer-on-a-chip. The proposed ultra-compact and low-cost spectrometer-on-a-chip can be used in various applications such as mobile/wearable health monitoring and high-resolution color sensing. As part of a winning team for the i6 Challenge Award program, Innovation Works and Carnegie Mellon University will collaborate with NanoLambda to more effectively move federally funded research towards successful technology product commercialization. The proposed ultra-compact and low-cost spectrometer-on-a-chip can be used in various applications such as mobile/wearable health monitoring and high-resolution color sensing. Consumer electronics manufacturers and portable medical device vendors can be potential customers. Considering the manufacturability of the proposed technology and the readiness of the markets, it is feasible to commercialize the technology within 2 years. The proposed activities will contribute to not only ensuring the high quality of color in the consumer electronics industry but also advancing personalized point-of-care, environmental monitoring, and homeland security. The proposed project will also contribute to the maturation of the "Agile Innovation Process" project of the i6 challenge winning team in the region.

NanoLambda，Inc.请求支持为敏捷创新系统提供一年的成员资格，该系统最近被选为经济发展管理局地区1 i6奖的获得者。该方案将与“敏捷创新进程”项目团队合作，将纳米滤光片阵列结构直接在晶片规模的CMOS探测器阵列上完成单片制作，形成片上光谱仪。建议的超紧凑和低成本的单芯片光谱仪可用于各种应用，如移动/可穿戴健康监测和高分辨率颜色传感。作为i6挑战奖项目获奖团队的一部分，创新工场和卡内基梅隆大学将与NanoLambda合作，更有效地将联邦资助的研究转化为成功的技术产品商业化。建议的超紧凑和低成本的单芯片光谱仪可用于各种应用，如移动/可穿戴健康监测和高分辨率颜色传感。消费电子产品制造商和便携式医疗设备供应商可能是潜在客户。考虑到拟议技术的可制造性和市场的准备情况，在两年内将该技术商业化是可行的。拟议的活动不仅将有助于确保消费电子行业的高质量色彩，而且还将促进个性化的护理地点、环境监测和国土安全。拟议的项目还将有助于i6挑战赛获奖团队在该地区的“敏捷创新进程”项目的成熟。
