Abstract: A spectrometer comprises a plurality of isolated optical channels comprising a plurality of isolated optical paths. The isolated optical paths decrease cross-talk among the optical paths and allow the spectrometer to have a decreased length with increased resolution. In many embodiments, the isolated optical paths comprise isolated parallel optical paths that allow the length of the device to be decreased substantially. In many embodiments, each isolated optical path extends from a filter of a filter array, through a lens of a lens array, through a channel of a support array, to a region of a sensor array. Each region of the sensor array comprises a plurality of sensor elements in which a location of the sensor element corresponds to the wavelength of light received based on an angle of light received at the location, the focal length of the lens and the central wavelength of the filter.

Abstract: In a spectroscopic module 1, a flange 7 is formed integrally with a diffraction layer 6 along a periphery thereof so as to become thicker than the diffraction layer 6. As a consequence, at the time of releasing a master mold used for forming the diffraction layer 6 and flange 7, the diffraction layer 6 formed along a convex curved surface 3a of a main unit 3 can be prevented from peeling off from the curved surface 3a together with the master mold. A diffraction grating pattern 9 is formed so as to be eccentric with respect to the center of the diffraction layer 6 toward a predetermined side. Therefore, releasing the mold earlier from the opposite side of the diffraction layer 6 than the predetermined side thereof can prevent the diffraction layer 6 from peeling off and the diffraction grating pattern 9 from being damaged.
