Abstract :
In the recent years, a lot of researchs have been focused on the miniaturization of optical spectrometers. Indeed, these devices are important for optical signal caracterization. The objective of this work is to develop and realize an optical spectrometer having both a compact size and high optical spectral resolution. It is based on the use of a glass integrated photonic chip composed of a straight waveguide finished by a mirror. Nano scattering centers considered as antennas are set on the waveguide surface. Each antenna transmits an optical signal on each camera pixel directly bonded at the surface wafer. The mirror at the end of the waveguide makes a stationary wave in the straight waveguide. The antennas allow to depict the optical intensity of the stationary wave. Then the optical spectrum of the signal can be obtained by applying a fast inverse fast Fourier transform. This approach has already been developed in the wavelength range from 700nm to 1000nm. Now, we are trying to extend this spectrometer skills in the SWIR (from 800nm to 1700nm). A novel approach of the antenna design is proposed to limit the crosstalk on each SWIR camera pixel. The objectives of this work are firstly to optimize the antenna realization used for the sampling. Secondly, the student will develop our ability to package the glass chip with the camera in order to have an airborne equipment.
