Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for a chemical sensor architecture based on a fabric-based spectrometer. An example apparatus implementing the techniques includes a portable spectrometer device including a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer coupled to the first fabric layer to form a pouch. The second fabric layer includes a fiber fabric spectrometer substrate comprising a fiber material including one or more electronic devices, wherein the pouch is configured to receive a colorimetric substrate and the fiber fabric spectrometer substrate is configured to measure reflectance of a colorimetric substrate disposed in the pouch.

A portable spectrometer device comprising:
- a first fabric layer;
- a control component;
- and
- a second fabric layer coupled to the first fabric layer to form a pouch, the second fabric layer comprising a fiber fabric spectrometer substrate comprising a fiber material including one or more electronic devices coupled to the control component programmed to measure reflectance of a removable colorimetric substrate inserted into the pouch, wherein
- the control component is disposed in the pouch, the control component coupled to the fiber fabric spectrometer substrate and configured to control at least one of the one or more electronic devices of the fiber fabric spectrometer substrate.
