High-performance integrated spectrometers are highly desirable for applications ranging from mobile phones to space probes. Based on silicon photonic integrated circuit technology, we propose and demonstrate an on-chip speckle spectrometer consisting of a 15×15, 2D disordered microring lattice. The proposed 2D, disordered microring lattice was simulated by the transfer-matrix method. The fabricated device featured a spectral resolution better than 15 pm and an operating bandwidth larger than 40 nm. We also demonstrated that, based on the speckle patterns, our device can perform a spectrum classification using machine learning algorithms, which will have a huge potential in fast, intelligent material and chemical analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
