Microspectrometer Design Achieves High Resolution, Wide BandwidthAn on-chip spectrometer the size of a penny does the work of larger versions
Tue, 06/21/2011 - 11:33
A new microspectrometer architecture that uses compact, disc-shaped resonators could address the challenges of integrated lab-on-chip sensing systems that now require a large, off-chip spectrometer to achieve high resolution.
