    Abstract: A sensor system has a plurality of optical sensors configured in an array on an integrated circuit and a lens system located proximal to a top surface of the array, where the intersection of the optical axis of the lens system with the plurality of optical sensors defines a reference point for light passing through the lens system. The sensor system includes a plurality of sets of optical filters overlaying the array between the lens system and the array, with each set of optical filters being associated with a set of optical sensors of the plurality of optical sensors and a set of optical filters of the plurality of sets of optical filters includes a plurality of optical filters where each set of optical filters has a center wavelength for light transmitted through the set of optical filters. In the sensor system each optical filter of the plurality of optical filters is configured to pass light in a different wavelength range, with at least some sets of optical filters configured to provide a center wavelength that is higher than a center wavelength of a set of optical filters at the reference point. An interface is provided for receiving output signal representative of received light from the optical sensors and to output signal from the plurality of optical sensors, with the output signal being representative of received light from the plurality of optical sensors and a spectral response is determined for each set of optical sensors associated with a set of optical filters.

    Abstract: A tunable infrared optical filter device, includes a first mirror and a second mirror bonded to each other to form a cavity therebetween. A surface of a position where the first mirror and the second mirror are bonded to each other is provided with an electrode for driving the first mirror or the second mirror to move, and each of the first mirror and the second mirror is a distributed Bragg reflector formed by bonding silicon films. The silicon film may be formed by machining the silicon film wafer, to form the distributed Bragg reflector composed of the two silicon films and the chambers therebetween. The distributed Bragg reflector may also be formed by bonding the silicon film and the silicon film of an SOI wafer.

    Abstract: A measuring device is a measuring device that performs colorimetry of an evaluation patch formed on a medium and a paper white patch that is a portion exposed by the medium. The measuring device has a light source portion that irradiates the medium with an illumination light, a measurement portion that acquires an amount of light from the medium as a measurement value, a memory that holds a paper white standard value that is a reference measurement value of the paper white patch, and a colorimetry unit that corrects a measurement value of the evaluation patch based on the measurement value of the paper white patch and the paper white standard value. Even in a case where a measurement position is changed, a reflectance of the evaluation patch is accurately calculated and a chromaticity of the evaluation patch can be accurately acquired.

    Abstract: An interference fringe pattern generator forms an interference fringe pattern from the light rays diffused from a region of an object positioned against a background. A planar array of detector pixels is arranged to capture an image of the interference fringe pattern. A storage medium records information indicative of intensity values of the image of the interference fringe pattern captured by a selected group of pixels of the planar array of detector pixels. The information is recorded as a function of the optical path difference values traversed by the diffused light rays through the interference fringe pattern generator for each of the pixels in the selected group of pixels. A processor determines the spectral characteristics of the object based on the information indicative of the intensity values recorded by the storage medium and the optical path difference values traversed by the diffused light rays.
