Smartphone Instrumentations for Public Health Safety

Part of the book series: Wireless Networks ((WN))

Abstract

Traditionally, most smartphone-based colorimetric devices including the intensity fluorimeters demonstrated in the previous chapters are designed to detect intensity through three specific color bands (red, green and blue) set by the color filters used in the smartphone’s CMOS camera pixels. More advanced instrumentations, such as spectrometers, are receiving evermore research attention due to their capability of extracting more information by looking at range of wavelengths. This chapter will discuss the developments of a number of smartphone spectrometers, covering optical design, fabrication, app development, calibration and finally some proof-of-principle applications.
