Abstract

This paper presents a novel design of a 'Sensor on a Chip' spectrometer, based on silicon on silica (SOI) material. It employs a series of silicon micro-ring resonators with varied diameters whose resonance wavelengths evenly space out across the CO₂ emission spectrum range. This provides a resonators-based detection platform for the observation of the Earth's atmospheric CO₂ levels, as well as for the monitoring of the air quality related CO₂ level and car exhauster CO₂ pollution level. This chip-based spectrometer can collect light, propagate it along a bus waveguide, coupling the light into the ring resonators at their resonant wavelengths, and then drop off the light onto an output waveguide which is coupled with a broadband photodiode detector. The chip can be readily made by conventional silicon based semiconductor process technology.
