At the Photonics Laboratory in IIT Bombay, we are developing various photonic devices based on different spectroscopic techniques. They are tailored for various opto-electronic and sensing applications in the agricultural, healthcare and environmental sector. One such device is the low cost polymer based multi-modal / multi-spectral wide band MEMS photonic sensing platform

Multispectral    

 ■ Photoresponsivity / photoconductivity of single device ranges from UV-visible to mid-infrared
 

Multimodal

 ■ Can be used as photo-detector or photonic sensor Salient features    

 ■ Low dark current

 ■ Room temperature operation

 ■ Fabrication process CMOS / MEMS compatible

 ■ Low cost pristine polymer; No doping

Applications    

 ■ On-chip general platform: Ready to incorporate in any spectroscopic detection such as:

    ‒   Absorption spectroscopy

    ‒   Reflectance spectroscopy

    ‒   Transmission spectroscopy
