[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development and widespread popularity of smartphone technology, spectral analysis technology based on smartphones has attracted the attention of many researchers. In 2013, Gallegos et al. developed a spectral analysis device using an external white light source, a diffraction grating and a smartphone. They used the principle that the specific binding of antigens and antibodies causes the bandgap shift of photonic crystals, and realized label-free quantitative detection of porcine immunoglobulins by analyzing the movement of the bandgap of photonic crystals. In 2014, Long et al. used a halogen lamp as the light source, a collimating lens group and a commercial diffraction grating, combined with a smartphone camera, to build a spectral analysis device that can be used for ELISA reactions.
