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.

Abstract: The invention relates to an interference filter (100) for receiving an incident light (135) and selecting a light component of the incident light to be transmitted (115). The interference filter (100) includes a metal mirror (110), a dielectric mirror (130), and a spacer (120) placed between the metal mirror (110) and the dielectric mirror (130). The metal mirror (110) and the dielectric mirror (130) are configured to enable optical interference in the spacer (120) to select the light component of the incident light to be transmitted (115). Using one metal mirror and one dielectric mirror allows achieving a spectral response with high finesse and large rejection band while reducing the total number of layers in the filter and reducing the number of additional filters necessary for removing transmitted side bands, relative to prior art approaches.
