This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) project grant, awarded to Perceptra Technologies, Inc., is focused on designing, optimizing, and validating an integrated photonic Raman spectrometer. The $275,000 award aims to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a compact, low-cost Raman sensor system that can provide reliable, real-time chemical analysis capabilities to address unmet needs in industrial and societal applications. The project will explore novel integrated photonic architectures, including tunable laser and wavelength tracking technologies, to enable miniaturization of Raman spectroscopy while maintaining high performance. The goal is to develop an accessible chemical analysis solution that can have broader impact beyond centralized laboratory settings.
