Paper Abstract
Diabetes is a fast growing metabolic disease, where the patients suffer from disordered glucose blood levels. Monitoring
the blood glucose values in combination with extra insulin injection is currently the only therapy to keep the glucose
concentration in diabetic patients under control, minimizing the long-term effects of elevated glucose concentrations and
improving quality of life of the diabetic patients. Implantable sensors allow continuous glucose monitoring, offering the
most reliable data to control the glucose levels. Infrared absorption spectrometers offer a non-chemical measurement
method to determine the small glucose concentrations in blood serum. In this work, a spectrometer platform based on
silicon photonics is presented, allowing the realization of very small glucose sensors suitable for building implantable
sensors. A proof-of-concept of a spectrometer with integrated evanescent sample interface is presented, and the route
towards a fully implantable spectrometer is discussed.
