Fraunhofer Research News June 19, 2019
Researchers in Germany will be presenting the results of their research into sensor technology and its applications in the field of testing and measurement at Sensor+Test 2019, a forum for sensor and measurement technology. They will demonstrate how the quality of workpieces and components can be assured using a non-contact, non-destructive test method based on audio sensing of product and process parameters combined with machine learning. The nanoSPECTRAL technology developed by Fraunhofer IIS is based on optical nanostructures and enables a very cost-effective monolithic production of the required optical filters directly in CMOS semiconductor processes, together with the optical sensor elements. The chip-size spectrometer shown at the fair already has more than 30 spectral bands and is thus e.g. suitable for agricultural applications, analytics, food analysis and medical applications…read more.
