Abstract
En 中文
We present a sunlight based handheld smartphone spectrometer. The device first gathers the sunlight to pass through the sample, and then the transmitted light illuminates on a grating to generate spectrum finally recorded by the smartphone monochrome camera. All the optical elements are assembled with the smartphone to integrate a handheld device with the size of 140.2 mm x 67.4 mm x 80.5 mm. Besides, a smartphone application is also developed for automatic spectral calibration, detection, analysis and display. Compared to the white light emitting diode and the halogen lamp, the sunlight has more uniform distribution covering the entire visible spectral range; and the proposed device also avoids the bulky sizes of those broadband light sources. Additionally, the monochrome camera is used instead of the color camera not only to pursue a high spectral resolution as 0.276 nm/pixel but also to avoid the color overlapping. We demonstrate the device capability on detecting avian influenza virus H7N9 and porcine circovirus type 2 antibodies, proving the device has rather high sensitivity similar to the commercial microplate reader. Considering its advantages as compact size, high spectral resolution and detecting sensitivity, it is believed the proposed sunlight based handheld smartphone spectrometer is potential to be broadly applied in on-site detections.
