We demonstrate the working of a smartphone based optical sensor for measuring absorption band of coloured dyes. By integration of simple laboratory optical components with the camera unit of the smartphone we have converted it into a visible spectrometer with a pixel resolution of 0.345 nm/pixel. Light from a broadband optical source is allowed to transmit through a specific dye solution. The transmitted light signal is captured by the camera of the smartphone. The present sensor is inexpensive, portable and light weight making it an ideal handy sensor suitable for different on-field sensing.
