Abstract:
An optical module of a micro spectrometer with tapered slit and slit structure thereof. The optical module includes an input section and a micro diffraction grating. The input section includes a slit structure, which receives a first optical signal and outputs a second optical signal travelling along a first optical path. The slit structure includes a substrate and a slit, which penetrates through the substrate and has a gradually reduced dimension from a first surface of the substrate to a second surface of the substrate. The micro diffraction grating, disposed on the first optical path, receives the second optical signal and separates the second optical signal into a plurality of spectrum components travelling along a second optical path. The optical module of the micro spectrometer with the tapered slit and slit structure thereof according to the embodiment of the invention can be manufactured in a mass-production manner using the semiconductor manufacturing processes, so that the cost can be decreased, and the slit can have a smooth surface, which avoids the negative effect on the incident light.
