Abstract: A spectrophotometer measures the color properties of a sample by illuminating the sample with a light source. One or more light beams are sensed by an active pixel diode array where each of the beams are sensed by a different array of diodes in the active pixel sensor. Each of the diode arrays are formed on the same substrate by a CMOS process such that each diode array is automatically aligned to each other during formation. Subsequent mechanical alignment is, thus, eliminated.
