Miniaturised MEMS-based spectrometers for the Mid-Infrared spectral region

Objective

In MIMIR, starting from a key BROMEDIR project result (The BROMEDIR FTIR portable spectrometer), we will develop a new generation of miniaturised spectrometers, eventually leading to the commercialisation of a product line of handheld spectral analysers operating in the mid-infrared (MIR) region and corresponding software applications. Within MIMIR, we will: a) work on the technological maturation of the spectrometer optical core engine, through stabilizing and enhancing the performance of the MEMS PIC yield, testing and automating the spectrometer calibration process, b) work on optimization of the BROMEDIR spectrometer performance at the system level, through efficient co-integration of the PIC MEMS chip with a suitable light source, a photodetector, the main processing unit and the power management sub-system, c) work on reducing the overall analyser size, aiming 5x10x20 cm for the whole device, while the BROMEDIR spectrometer alone measures 12x12x11 cm, not including the light source and sample accessories, d) develop chemometric models and software interfaces for the analysis of the measured raw data, for two application areas: soil health assessment and human health diagnostics, e) undertake the necessary activities towards increasing the business readiness for the spectrometer and the product line based on it. The previous project result is the main component of MIMIR.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
