    Abstract: A filter array includes optical filters arranged in two dimensions. The optical filters include a first filter and a second filter. The first filter includes a first multimode filter having, within a target wavelength range, first peak wavelengths at each of which the optical transmittance is at a local maximum, and a first band-limiting filter having, as a limiting band, a first sub-wavelength range that is a part of the target wavelength range. The second filter includes a second multimode filter having, within the target wavelength range, second peak wavelengths at each of which the optical transmittance is at a local maximum, at least one of the second peak wavelengths being different from the first peak wavelengths, and a second band-limiting filter restricting transmission of light in a second sub-wavelength range that is a part of the target wavelength range and that is different from the first sub-wavelength range.

    Abstract: A photodetection device includes: a filter array including a plurality of filters arranged in a two-dimensional array, the plurality of filters including a first filter and a second filter, the first filter and the second filter each including a first reflective layer, a second reflective layer, and an intermediate layer between the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer and having a resonant structure having a plurality of resonant modes differing in order from each other, at least one selected from the group consisting of a refractive index and a thickness of the intermediate layer of the first filter being different from the at least one selected from the group consisting of a refractive index and a thickness of the intermediate layer of the second filter; and an image sensor disposed at a position where the image senor receives light having passed through the filter array.

    Abstract: A filter array, which is to be used in a photodetection system that generates image data of each of N wavelength bands (where N is an integer greater than or equal to 4), includes optical filters whose light transmittances in each of the N wavelength bands differ from each other. (σ1/μ1)≥0.1, . . . , and (σN/μN)≥0.1, where μi is a mean value of transmittances, corresponding one-to-one to the optical filters, with respect to light of an i-th wavelength band (where i is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N) among the N wavelength bands, and where σi is a standard deviation of the transmittances, corresponding one-to-one to the optical filters, with respect to the light of the i-th wavelength band.

    Abstract: An optical filter array is used in a photodetection device that generates image data separately for each of N (where N is an integer greater than or equal to 4) wavelength bands. The optical filter array includes a plurality of optical filters. The plurality of optical filters include plural types of optical filters differing in transmittance from each other in each of the N wavelength bands. Assuming that pi is an average of transmittances of the plurality of optical filters for light in an ith wavelength band (where i is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N) of the N wavelength bands, a standard deviation of the average μi of the transmittances for the N wavelength bands is less than or equal to 0.13.

    Abstract: A light detecting device includes: a filter array including filters two-dimensionally arrayed and an image sensor including light detection elements. Each of first and second filters included in the filters includes a first reflective layer, a second reflective layer, and an intermediate layer therebetween and has a resonance structure having resonant modes whose orders are different from each other. A refractive index and/or a thickness of the intermediate layer in the first and second filters is different depending on the filter. A transmission spectrum of each of the first and second filters has local maximum value of transmittance at each of wavelengths included in a wavelength region, and the wavelengths correspond to the resonant modes, respectively. The image sensor is disposed at a position where the image senor receives passing light that passes through the filter array, to detect components in the wavelengths included in the passing light.
