Ultra-Compact Spectrometer Technology for Practical Applications

Choi covers the past, present, and future of optical spectroscopy -- highlighting everyday applications. In contrast to other fast-moving IT technologies and industries, optical spectroscopy lags decades behind due to a lack of technological breakthroughs.

Recently, industrial and consumer markets have shown a growing need for spectral sensing in an ultra-compact size and at an affordable cost for material detection and analysis. This session compares technologies and solutions by balancing strengths and potential issues. Lastly, Choi attempts to forecast optical spectroscopy's future trends and market potential.
