In the past 20 years, spectrometers have shrunk dramatically in size, and this shrinking has been achieved with only modest performance reductions in sampling versatility, spectral range, spectral resolution, and signal-to-noise.

The implementation of 120 open-path spectroscopy analyzers at oil refineries has taught us lessons about compound identification, target species detectability, interferences, and data management, which can help spectroscopists generate more accurate data when monitoring air quality.

Spectral Sensing Using a Handheld NIR Module Based on a Fully Integrated Sensor Chip

A novel approach to NIR spectral sensing, using a miniaturized fully-integrated multipixel array of resonant-cavity-enhanced InGaAs photodetectors, enables sensors with a millimeter-scale footprint and wafer-scale fabrication. This multipixel sensor does not measure the full spectrum, but rather a limited number of spectral regions with limited resolution (50–100 nm).
