Research abstract
Although Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRs) is a powerful non-invasive technique for identifying constituent components in a variety of agricultural products, current NIRs instrumentation is bulky and expensive, and requires long measurement times. This limits the use of NIRs in remote settings and high-speed sorting applications. This project seeks to apply miniaturized semiconductor laser technology to create hand-held NIRs instruments which are portable and inexpensive, and have measurement times sufficiently short for high-speed sorting applications.
