Design and Characterization of a Miniaturized Spectrometer for Wearable ApplicationsWestover, Tyler Richard 09 August 2022 (has links)
As individual health monitors continue to become more widely adopted in helping individuals make informed decisions, new technologies need to be developed to obtain more biometric data. Spectroscopy is a well-known tool to gain biological information. Traditionally spectrometers are large and expensive making personal or wearable health monitors difficult. Here we present the development and characterization of a miniaturized short wavelength infrared spectrometer for wearable applications. We present a carbon nanotube parallel hole collimator can effectively select a narrow set of allowed angles of light to be separated by a linear variable filter and detected at a photodiode array making a spectrometer. We will go over the calibration of the spectrometer showing a resolution of 13 nm at 1300 nm. Improvements on the original collimator data will be discussed, including carbon nanotube growth without infiltration and growth on transparent substrates. We will also show measurements made on human subjects yielding a pulse.
