Technology

The Chromation Spec dev kit is the first product that uses the combination of photonic crystals and a folded optical path. The plots below show response data measured from one of the development kits.

Advantages

Usability
  • Small and light
  • No external optics needed - simple optical integration
  • Direct spectrum readout
  • Broadband operation
  • Range and resolution can be adjusted (Operation at 10.6um, and resolution down to 2nm have been demonstrated)
Manufacturability
  • Non-imaging design scales down to single chip
  • Planar structures fabricated via optical lithography and dry etch (no curved surfaces, ruling, or imprint)
  • Fused silica substrate compatible with Si production lines
  • Folded optical path allows for integration of additional optical elements to expand capabilities

Roadmap

Our current products are the first demonstration of our technology. Our roadmap covers a number of initiatives to further reduce size and expand capabilities including the move to surface mount chip packaging and extension further into the NIR.
