Monolithic Waveguide Spectrometer for Mid-Infrared Applications

Spectro Inc. has commercialized a ruggedized mid-IR spectrometer platform based on a unique wedge waveguide design that integrates input optics, diffraction grating, and array detector into a monolithic system operating in the 2.5 to 12 micron wavelength range. This presentation will discuss the spectrometer platform and its evolution, the current successful applications and environments that it is being used, and other applications that the platform has shown success.
