Red laser light is coupled into a spectrometer chip with an optical fiber from the left. The light travels along the chip until it is scattered out the the top in a waveguide section on the right.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Optical spectrometers are devices that measure the variation in the absorption and emission of light over a range ( the change in the absorption and emission of light with ...

For decades, the ability to visualize the chemical composition of materials, whether for diagnosing a disease, assessing food quality, or analyzing pollution, depended on large, expensive laboratory ...

For electrical engineers working in almost any part of the wired or wireless spectrum, the spectrum analyzer is a critical test and measurement tool. For optical engineering, the equivalent tool is ...

Researchers are designing new ways to make spectrometers that are ultra-small but still very powerful, to be used for anything from detecting disease to observing stars in distant galaxies.

This simulation shows a top-down view of how different light patterns in red and green are generated when fed with input from a waveguide on the left. Spectrometers are technology for reading light ...

(Nanowerk News) Spectrometers are technology for reading light that date back to the era of famed 17th-century physicist Isaac Newton. They work by breaking down light waves into their different ...
