Miniaturization of spectroscopic technologies has enabled growth in the optical microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) field, but today’s small spectroscopic sensing instruments are too expensive to be applied to high-volume application-driven markets. Engineers at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland may help commercialize miniature optical sensing technologies with their cost-efficient MEMS Fabry-Pérot interferometers (FPIs).
