PRESENTATION
Industrial Chemical Detection with On-chip Raman Technology
Waveguide-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (WERS) is a promising method for detecting chemical and biological compounds with high sensitivity and selectivity on a chip-scale platform. To advance this technology to industrial applications, several challenges must be overcome. These include optimizing waveguide design for improved light confinement, developing robust optical and mechanical packaging for industrial environment, and enhancing data processing techniques for accurate signal interpretation. This talk will present the latest advancements in On-chip Raman sensor development, focusing on their application in industrial bioprocess monitoring, showcasing their potential to revolutionize on-site, real-time chemical analysis.
