Abstract: An apparatus consisting of stacked slab waveguides whose outputs are vertically staggered is disclosed. At the input to the stacked waveguides, the entrances to each slab lie in approximately the same vertical plane. A spot which is imaged onto the input will be transformed approximately to a set of staggered rectangles at the output, without substantial loss in brightness, which staggered rectangles can serve as a convenient input to a spectroscopic apparatus. A slit mask can be added to spatially filter the outputs so as to present the desired transverse width in the plane of the spectroscopic apparatus parallel to its dispersion.

Abstract: Since a spectroscopic module (1) has a plate-shaped body section (2), the spectroscopic module can be reduced in size by reducing the thickness of the body section (2). Moreover, since the body section (2) is plate-shaped, the spectroscopic module (1) can be manufactured, for example, by using a wafer process. More specifically, by providing lens sections (3), diffraction layers (4), reflection layers (6) and light detecting elements (7) in a matrix form on a glass wafer which becomes many body sections (2) and dicing the glass wafer, many spectroscopic modules (1) can be manufactured. This enables easy mass production of spectroscopic modules (1).

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for designing a light transmission device, which adjusts a wavelength region of a spectrum of transmitted light without expanding a width of a transmission spectrum and without lowering the transmittance. The method for designing a light transmission device having a metal thin film, and a rectangular aperture which is formed in a plane of the metal thin film, has a long side and a short side and makes light pass therethrough, wherein the short side has a dimension smaller than a wavelength of incident light, and the long side is determined to have such a dimension that a peak wavelength at which the transmittance of light passing through the rectangular aperture is maximal can be a predetermined value.

Abstract: A spatial filter for an optical system, such as an optical spectrometer, collects and spatially filters light using a fiber bundle having a plurality of fibers disposed therein. At an input end of the fiber bundle, the fibers are typically packed tightly together to optimize the collection efficiency. At an output end, the fibers are spread out from the fiber bundle and arranged within a two-dimensional output area according to a two-dimensional pattern corresponding to a coded aperture function. As a result, the two-dimensional pattern of the output end spatially filters the light collected by the input end. Corresponding methods are also described.
