    Abstract: Optical spectrometers may be used to determine the spectral components of electromagnetic waves. Spectrometers may be large, bulky devices and may require waves to enter at a nearly direct angle of incidence in order to record a measurement. What is disclosed is an ultra-compact spectrometer with nanophotonic components as light dispersion technology. Nanophotonic components may contain metasurfaces and Bragg filters. Each metasurface may contain light scattering nanostructures that may be randomized to create a large input angle, and the Bragg filter may result in the light dispersion independent of the input angle. The spectrometer may be capable of handling about 200 nm bandwidth. The ultra-compact spectrometer may be able to read image data in the visible (400-600 nm) and to read spectral data in the near-infrared (700-900 nm) wavelength range. The surface area of the spectrometer may be about 1 mm2, allowing it to fit on mobile devices.

    Abstract: A method for inspecting probe molecule includes evaluating the formation of the probe molecule at the surface of the graphene by comparing an intensity ratio a1/b1, and an intensity ratio a2/b2. The intensity al is of a peak of the first Raman spectrum having a peak top positioned in a first band of not less than 1200 cm−1 and not more than 1500 cm−1. The intensity b1 is of a peak of the first Raman spectrum having a peak top positioned in a second band of not less than 1510 cm−1 and not more than 1800 cm−1. The intensity a2 is of a peak of the second Raman spectrum having a peak top positioned in the first band. The intensity b2 is of a peak of the second Raman spectrum having a peak top positioned in the second band.
