    Abstract: An imaging region of an image sensor is used more efficiently. A diffraction element (100) according to the embodiment includes a grating pattern, in which according to a position of light input to the diffraction element, the position being from a center of the diffraction element, an image forming position of diffracted light corresponding to the position of each wavelength is adjusted by adjusting a shape of the grating pattern at the position

    Abstract: Spectrometers include an optical assembly with optical elements arranged to receive light from a light source and direct the light along a light path to a multi-element detector, dispersing light of different wavelengths to different spatial locations on the multi-element detector. The optical assembly includes: (i) a collimator arranged in the light path to receive the light from the light source, the collimator including a mirror having a freeform surface; (2) a dispersive sub-assembly including an echelle grating, the dispersive sub-assembly being arranged in the light path to receive light from the collimator; and (3) a Schmidt telescope arranged in the light path to receive light from the dispersive sub-assembly and focus the light to a field, the multi-element detector being arranged at the field.

    Abstract: A silicon Fourier transform spectrometer and an optical spectrum reconstruction method are disclosed. The spectrometer includes a waveguide input coupler, cascaded optical switches, unbalanced subwavelength grating (SWG) waveguide pairs, and a germanium silicon detector, where the cascaded optical switches are connected through unbalanced SWG waveguide pairs. The state of the optical switches are adjusted to digitally configure the optical path, so as to constitute a series of unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) arrays with different optical path differences, to realize a Fourier transform spectrometer based on spatial heterodyne. The optical spectrum is reconstructed by using a compressed sensing algorithm.

    Abstract: An optical detection device is an optical detection device that detects a desired wavelength component included in input light, and includes: a spectrometer including, for instance, a diffraction grating that receives the input light as an input and outputs an alignment of spectra each of which is a duplication of a spectrum of the input light; a second slit array including an array of three or more slits that pass light beams of wavelengths at three or more locations in the alignment of the spectra that are output from the spectrometer; and an imaging element composed of an array of pixels that receive the light beams, having passed through the second slit array, each of the light beams having three or more wavelength components. At least two pitches between slits are different in the array of the three or more slits included in the second slit array.

    Abstract: A spectral resolution enhancement device including a preliminary dispersion unit, a two-grating angular dispersion amplification unit, and a detection unit is provided. The preliminary dispersion unit is configured to receive collimated incident light and emits light of different wavelengths in the incident light at different angles. The two-grating angular dispersion amplification unit is configured to diffract the light of different wavelengths and emitted from the preliminary dispersion unit multiple times, such that angular dispersion the light of different wavelengths is enhanced, and emergent angle deviations between the light of different wavelengths are increased. The detection unit is configured to detect light of different wavelengths and emitted from the two-grating angular dispersion amplification unit. Since the emergent angle deviations of light of different wavelengths are increased, resolution of the detection unit for the light of different wavelengths is increased.

    Abstract: In swept source Raman (SSR) spectroscopy, a swept laser beam illuminates a sample, which inelastically scatters some of the incident light. This inelastically scattered light is shifted in wavelength by an amount called the Raman shift. The Raman-shifted light can be measured with a fixed spectrally selective filter and a detector. The Raman spectrum can be obtained by sweeping the wavelength of the excitation source and, therefore, the Raman shift. The resolution of the Raman spectrum is determined by the filter bandwidth and the frequency resolution of the swept source. An SSR spectrometer can be smaller, more sensitive, and less expensive than a conventional Raman spectrometer because it uses a tunable laser and a fixed filter instead of free-space propagation for spectral separation. Its sensitivity depends on the size of the collection optics. And it can use a nonlinearly swept laser beam thanks to a wavemeter that measures the beam's absolute wavelength during Raman spectrum acquisition.
