Sweet Insight: Broadband Reflection Spectroscopy for Glucose Analysis

Photonics Spectra's Spectroscopy Summit - a virtual event highlighting emerging trends and future directions in spectroscopy - premiered on March 12, 2025.

Derek Guenther, Senior Product Scientist at Ocean Optics, discussed the capabilities and limitations of various broadband spectroscopy approaches to detect aqueous glucose levels in idealized and biological scenarios.

By using broadband reflection, signals related to glucose concentration can be extracted with various efficiencies in different settings, such as through biological tissue. This talk sets the foundation for deeper work around those most promising approaches and how they can be developed into consumer-ready devices.
