The National Science Foundation awarded a $1.116 million Project Grant to The University of Texas at Arlington under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships federal grant program (CFDA 47.084) to develop a compact and portable on-chip gas chromatography system with a photonic integrated circuit for rapid and comprehensive volatile organic compound gas analysis. The University of Texas at Arlington will work to miniaturize gas chromatography technology and integrate optical detection capabilities onto a single photonic chip. This integrated "μGC-PIC" system is intended to combine on-chip nanophotonic sensor arrays, efficient vapor separation in high-aspect ratio microfabricated silicon gas chromatography columns, and an on-chip reconstructive metasurface spectrometer for detection. The goal is to demonstrate a prototype of this technology to enable unprecedented gas analysis speed, separation capability, sensitivity and scalability in a highly compact form factor suitable for applications in healthcare, industry, public safety and national security.
