Integrated NIR Spectral Sensing

Fiore presents an integrated near-infrared (NIR) spectral sensing technology suitable for portable and in-line spectroscopy applications. The technology consists of an array of spectrally selective semiconductor photodetectors, with responses covering the 900- to 1650-nm range, and it can be mass manufactured. Fiore describes the concept, principles, and design of the technology, and he provides several application examples.
