Miniature integrated micro-spectrometer array for snap shot multispectral sensing
Abstract:
An array of micro spectrometers for parallel spectral sensing is designed, set up and tested. It utilizes a planar prism grating combination to obtain an almost linear optical system of 6 mm length only. Arranging such micro spectrometers in an array configuration yields 2'000 spectrometers when utilizing a common 4/3" CCD image sensor well adapted to e.g. microscopic image dimensions. The application in microscopic imaging in the 450-900 nm spectral range is demonstrated as proof of concept, which can be adapted to massively parallel sensing in the frame of integrated sensor concepts.
