Hybrid Pyroelectric-plasmonic Photodetectors for On-chip Hyperspectral Imaging

Abstract

Hyperspectral imaging is a critical sensing technique which simultaneously captures spatial and spectral information valuable for conducting chemical and environmental mapping, geospatial analysis, and more. Current hyperspectral techniques require complex, bulky, and expensive optical systems, which limits widespread use on aerial platforms. Here, we propose an innovative, lightweight, on-chip hyperspectral imager from 400 to 3000 nm, comprising dynamically tunable, spectrally selective detectors. In order to achieve this goal, we will combine thermally sensitive films with colloidally synthesized nanoparticle structures.
