  4. SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance)Portable Chemical Sensing Instruments • Research Goals: Short Term (First 18 months) • Demonstrate Integrated Optical Computing for compensating any arbitrary reference environment • Reduce output from photodetectors (directly) to the difference between the reference and present environment • Extract two points from SPR array between which lies the minimum in the spectrum • Use massively parallel, analog circuits to compute, in real-time the true minimum between these selected points • Proof-of-concept: compute (reference-independent) concentration directly from photodetectors and analog circuits in real-time using “non-integrated” SPR system

  5. SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance)Portable Chemical Sensing Instruments • Research Goals: Long Term (Years 2-4) • Integrate SPR optical train onto a micromachined platform • Develop dual probe system to track reference envionrment (bulk refractive index) and sensing environment (analyte-dependent refractive index) simulatenously • Characterize resolution of minimum detection scheme (concentration limits) • Demonstrate effective integration of optical train, photodetectors, and processing circuits onto a single chip.
