Self-Powered Optical Spectroscopy

Abstract

Main goal: to develop new techniques for low-cost optical spectroscopy that enable quantitative measurements in poor resource environments. The realized techniques span a broad optical range: UV through near infrared. Major technologies developed include: 1) a new low-cost, nanoparticle-based strategy for non-invasive measurement of whole sample bodily fluids; 2) a new platform for robust colorimetric assay for measurement for point-of-care health monitoring; 3) a new technique for low-cost polarization spectroscopy in the infrared for molecular contrast imaging of biological tissue. Outcomes: 2 peer-reviewed publications, 1 more in preparation, 1 archival conference paper, and 2 invention disclosures.
