The ultra-mobile near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer reference design utilizes Texas Instruments' DLP technology in conjunction with a single-element InGaAs detector to deliver high performance measurements in a portable form factor that is more affordable than architectures using an expensive InGaAs array detector or fragile rotating grating architectures. The reference design supports Bluetooth low energy to enable mobile lab measurements for hand-held spectrometers for applications including food, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and more. Using a TI Tiva processor, databases in the cloud can be leveraged through cellular networks for real-time lab equivalent analytics, which allow food or skin analysis and wearable health monitor solutions. Developers can also create their own data collection and analysis through innovative iOS and Android applications.
