Miniaturized MEMS Grating Spectrometer
The miniaturized grating spectrometer developed at Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems exhibits a volume of 2.1 cm³. Because the power consumption is only a few milliwatts, it is suited for the integration in mobile devices and the in situ measurement in industrial installations and buildings. With a measurement range between 950 nm and 1900 nm it aims mainly on applications in the fields of food chemistry, pharmacy, medical, environmental and security technologies as well as building services.
