Design of low-loss arrayed waveguide gratings for applications in integrated Raman spectroscopy

An integrated low-loss arrayed waveguide grating is designed for Raman spectroscopy of the human skin. The device layout targets spectral analysis of Raman-scattered light for in vivo determination of water concentration in the stratum corneum.
