20100197508Integrated Universal Chemical Detector with Selective Diffraction Array - Integrated universal chemical detector in a micro-optical chip in which chemical/bio-sensitive micro/nano-pixels are aligned to create diffraction patterns that can be visually or instrumentally categorized in order to identify a substantial plurality of agents. By using a diffraction method to create a macroscopic diffraction image, a single small array can effectively detect hundreds or even thousands of different chemicals. The apparatus can be further automated by analyzing the diffraction patterns electronically.08-05-2010
