Abstract
We have developed a miniaturized silicon photonics short-wave infrared spectrophotometer that fits in a wrist-based wearable device. Our device has the capability for non-invasive and real-time measurement of various physiologic biochemistries that cannot be interrogated with the same accuracy when using light emitting diodes (LEDs) and common photoplethysmography (PPG) applications. By producing many discrete and individually addressable laser diodes on a single photonics integrated circuit together with wavelength multiplexing and on-chip wavelength and power monitoring, our platform enables novel commercial applications, including the ability to sense hydration status, core body temperature, alcohol consumption, lactate threshold, and glucose levels.
