| 摘要 |
Planar waveguide based grating devices and spectrometers, for species-specific wavelength detection for example, are disclosed. A planar waveguide spectrometer apparatus may have a microfluidic channel or compartment microfabricated integrally with a planar waveguide or hybrid assembled with the planar waveguide and optically coupled thereto. The planar waveguide may also include a thin planar substrate which is made of a transparent waveguiding optical material and has a planar multilayer, one or more input waveguides, a waveguide-based spectrometer, and one or more output waveguides integrally formed thereon. An apparatus which incorporates a planar waveguide, a diffractive construct for diffracting light through the planar waveguide onto a curved image surface, and a plurality of output waveguides emanating from the curved image surface at locations selected to extract predetermined wavelengths or wavelength ranges, is also disclosed.
