Fabric Spectrophotometer for Chemical Sensing

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.
