This project entitled ""Micro-Spectrometer for Atmospheric Remote Sensing"" will develop a compact spectrometer for the measurement of Green House Gas (GHG) species in the atmosphere. The project will focus on the advancement of previous research to develop an innovative integrated optics platform for affordable atmospheric science and the sensing of chemical concentrations. The proposed approach will provide high spectral resolution and high throughput over a limited wavelength with each device being “tuned” at the point of manufacture to detect a specific gas species (e.g. methane, CO2, etc.). The micro-spectrometer will be compatible with nanosatellite, microsatellite and hosted payload applications as well as aviation and terrestrial applications.
