Abstract

We demonstrate an ultra-compact on-chip spectrometer for near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy based on narrow-band band-pass filter array. Each individual filter consists of a plasmonic metallic grating with subwavelength period and extremely narrow slits on a quartz substrate, with a polymer cover layer as the waveguide layer. A narrow-band guided-mode resonance (GMR) associated with a surface-plasmon resonance (SPR) gives rise to the narrow-band transmission spectrum. Full width at half maximum (FWHM) of fabricated filter’s spectrum is measured to be from 7 to 13 nm, and the operation bandwidth of the entire filter array covers wavelength range over 270 nm from 1510 to 1780 nm. We measure the NIR absorbance spectrum of xylene using our filter array device to demonstrate its application as a spectrometer.
