Periodic Reporting for period 4 - INsPIRE (Chip-scale INtegrated Photonics for the mid-Infra REd)

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy is a nearly universal way to identify chemical and biological substances, as most of the molecules have their vibrational and rotational resonances in the mid-IR wavelength range. Commercially available mid-IR systems are based on bulky and...
