Abstract
We present a silicon photonics evanescent sensor for glucose absorption spectroscopy. The important design aspects of this miniature sensor are discussed as well as the experimental challenges. We demonstrate detection of glucose down to 14 mmol/L, close to the physiological range of blood glucose in humans.
