[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 4 points 5 months ago (1 child) Even at $50 a chip I could see applications for this. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Sal@mander.xyz 1 point 5 months ago Yes, there is a lot of potential. There are micro-spectrometers available covering this range, like the MEMS-FPI type spectrometer or the multi-pixel arrays with filters (example: https://www.mantispectra.com/products). But this new kind of detector seems to come with higher resolution, faster readout than the MEMS-FPI, and more sensitivity. It is quite exciting, I'm curious to see if they commercialize it soon. permalink fedilink source parent
