Project description
Hybrid graphene-quantum dot photodetectors for versatile spectrometers
Optical spectrometry is used to study the structures of atoms and molecules. In the food industry, it plays a role as a non-destructive, high throughput technique to detect threatening and hazardous substances, food inspection, process, and environmental monitoring and quality control. However, the market remains fragmented. There are numerous niche markets due to the different wavelength ranges of interest. Hybrid graphene-quantum dot photodetectors address this problem by enabling versatile spectrometers covering the entire spectral range from UV to mid-infrared. The EU-funded SPECTRODOT project will develop a low-cost, hand-held hybrid graphene-quantum dot prototype spectrometer with a broadband range from 400 to 2 500 nm.
Objective
Optical Spectrometry is a powerful non-destructive, high throughput technique used extensively for threat and hazardous substance detection, food inspection, process and environmental monitoring and quality control amongst others. The market is fragmented into many niche markets, mainly due to the different wavelengths ranges of interest. Hybrid graphene-quantum dot photodetectors can enable versatile spectrometer covering the whole spectral range from UV to mid-IR. The main goal of SPECTRODOT is to develop a prototype low-cost, hand-held spectrometer with broadband range from 400 to 2500 nanometres.
