Ultra-simplified diffraction-based computational spectrometer.

ABSTRACT: Miniaturizing spectrometers for compact and cost-effective mobile platforms is a major challenge in current spectroscopy research, where conventional spectrometers are impractical due to their bulky footprint. Existing miniaturized designs primarily rely on precalibrated response functions of nanophotonic structures to encode spectral information captured in a snapshot by detector arrays. Accurate spectrum reconstruction is achieved through computational techniques, but this requires precise component design, high-precision fabrication, and calibration. We propose an ultra-simplified computational spectrometer that employs a one-to-broadband diffraction decomposition strategy facilitated by a numerical regularized transform that depends only on the spectrum of the diffracted radiation.
