A deep learning-based spectral analysis device and method are disclosed that employs a spectral encoder chip containing a plurality of nanohole array tiles, each with a unique geometry and, thus, a unique optical transmission spectrum. Illumination impinges upon the encoder chip and a CMOS image sensor captures the transmitted light, without any lenses, gratings, or other optical components. A spectral reconstruction neural network uses the transmitted intensities from the image to faithfully reconstruct the input spectrum. In one embodiment that used a spectral encoder chip with 252 nanohole array tiles, the network was trained on 50,352 spectra randomly generated by a supercontinuum laser and blindly tested on 14,648 unseen spectra. The system identified 96.86% of spectral peaks, with a peak localization error of 0.19 nm, peak height error of 7.60%, and peak bandwidth error of 0.18 nm.

The disclosure provides an optical filter element including a plurality of nano-columns separated from each other in a horizontal direction and extended in a vertical direction, and each of the plurality of nano-columns includes a first material layer having an first extinction coefficient and second material layers having second extinction coefficients different from the first extinction coefficient of the first material layer and a spectrometer including the same.

Provided is a portable biosensor that includes a sample filter cartridge, a filter collector, an optical sphere, an electromagnetic radiation emitter, a photo-detector, a processor, a signal display, a vacuum pump, and a power supply. The sample filter cartridge selectively removes small molecules to minimize spectral interference in the detection signal. The sample is concentrated onto the filter collector and subjected to illumination by the electromagnetic radiation emitter, producing Raman-scattering. The optical sphere collects and distributes the Raman-scattering shifts, which then pass through a spectral filter to produce spectral filtered scattering, which is then reflected by the concave holographic flat-field grating onto the photo-detector. The data is displayed graphically to provide the Raman-scattering shift data. The data is compared with a database for sample identification. The device is contained within a housing that is small enough to be easily transported for field use.

The present disclosure discloses an infrared sensor, an infrared gas detector and an air quality detection device. The infrared sensor includes electrodes, a substrate, an isolation layer and a graphene film. The graphene film has a periodical nanostructure. The infrared sensor enhances the absorption of infrared light, and is capable of only absorbing specific infrared wavelengths, thus improving the selective performance of the infrared gas detector.

A solid-state gas spectrometer for detection of molecules of target gases. An emitter generates light having wavelengths both within and outside of one or more absorption bands of a target molecule. The light provided by the emitter passes through an airway adapter. A reflective beam splitter splits the light transmitted through the airway adapter, into two convergent beams each focused on a light detector. One of the light detectors, which is covered by a filter that rejects light having wavelengths within one or more absorption bands of the target molecule, serves as the sensing detector. The other light detector, which may or may not be covered by a filter, serves as the reference detector. The concentration of a target gas molecule in the gas sample is estimated based on a differential signal that is generated using the signals received from the reference and sensing detectors.

The light extraction device includes at least one light splitting unit, each of the at least one light splitting unit includes a color separation grating, configured to separate light incident on the color separation grating into a plurality of light beams that are collimated and propagated in different directions and have different colors; a first lens, disposed corresponding to the color separation grating and configured to converge the plurality of light beams; and a first pinhole, located on a side of the first lens away from the color separation grating and correspondingly arranged with the first lens. The first lens is configured to converge a light beam having a preset color in the plurality of light beams to the first pinhole and allow the light beam having the preset color to exit.
