Nano-optics and ultra-thin materials for an infrared spectrometer-on-a-chip

目标：该项目旨在推动光学纳米谐振器和超薄材料在红外光谱领域的发展。该项目旨在利用这一知识来演示一种芯片上的红外光谱仪。 意义：红外光谱分析是识别和研究物质的一种强有力的方法，但通常使用的仪器体积大、重量重、耗电量大且价格昂贵。 预期结果：预计该项目将产生知识，从而大幅减少红外光谱仪的尺寸、重量、功耗和成本。 好处：这应该允许红外光谱仪用于当前方法的尺寸/重量/功耗/成本阻碍其使用的应用中。

Aims: This project aims to advance optical nanoresonators and ultra-thin materials in the infrared spectral region. The project aims to use this knowledge to demonstrate an infrared spectrometer on a chip. Significance: Infrared spectroscopy is a powerful method for identifying and study matter but is carried out using instruments that are generally large, heavy, power hungry and costly. Expected outcomes: It is expected that this project will generate knowledge that will allow dramatic reductions in the size, weight, power consumption and cost of infrared spectrometers. Benefits: This should allow infrared spectrometers to be used in applications for which the size/weight/power consumption/cost of current approaches prevent their use.
