Application research of sensor output digitization for compact near infrared IOT node

The rise of the Internet of Things (IOT) spectral analysis technology has driven the development of near infrared spectroscopy sensors toward miniaturization, digitization and intelligence. A specific digitization research on InGaAs spectral sensor was reported to meet the digital and intelligent development of InGaAs focal plane Arrays (FPA). A new compact near infrared spectral node was developed integratedly with digital output spectral sensor circuit using self-developed analog to digital convertor (ADC) chip. The proposed node integrated 202 effective spectral channels with a wavelength range of 900 nm to 1 700 nm and a spectral resolution better than 16 nm. The wavelength accuracy and repeatability was less than 1 nm and 0.3 nm, respectively. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) of node system was about 500:1, and the frame scanning time was about 3 ms. The research results show that the compact IOT spectral node meets the practical application requirements of near infrared spectral analysis, and provides technical supports for the sensor on-chip digitization and IOT near infrared spectral analysis applications.
