Abstract: In a spectroscopy module 1, a light passing hole 50 through which a light L1 advancing to a spectroscopic portion 4 passes is formed in a light detecting element 5. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the relative positional relationship between the light passing hole 50 and a light detecting portion 5a of the light detecting element 5 from deviating. Moreover, the light detecting element 5 is bonded to a front plane 2a of a substrate 2 with an optical resin adhesive 63. Thus, it is possible to reduce a stress generated onto the light detecting element 5 due to a thermal expansion difference between the light detecting element 5 and the substrate 2. Additionally, on the light detecting element 5, a first pool portion 101 is formed so as to be located at least between the light detecting portion 5a and the light passing hole 50 when viewed from a direction substantially perpendicular to the front plane 2a. Thus, when the light detecting element 5 is attached to the substrate 2 via the optical resin adhesive 63, the optical resin adhesive 63 is pooled to remain at the first pool portion 101. Thus, the optical resin adhesive 63 is prevented from penetrating into the light passing hole 50.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided. In particular, at least one first electro-magnetic radiation may be provided to a sample and at least one second electro-magnetic radiation can be provided to a non-reflective reference. A frequency of the first and/or second radiations varies over time. An interference is detected between at least one third radiation associated with the first radiation and at least one fourth radiation associated with the second radiation. Alternatively, the first electro-magnetic radiation and/or second electro-magnetic radiation have a spectrum which changes over time. The spectrum may contain multiple frequencies at a particular time. In addition, it is possible to detect the interference signal between the third radiation and the fourth radiation in a first polarization state. Further, it may be preferable to detect a further interference signal between the third and fourth radiations in a second polarization state which is different from the first polarization state. The first and/or second electro-magnetic radiations may have a spectrum whose mean frequency changes substantially continuously over time at a tuning speed that is greater than 100 Tera Hertz per millisecond.

Abstract: The present invention provides a highly reliable spectral module. The spectral module (1) of the present invention comprises a substrate (2) for transmitting therethrough light incident on one surface (2a); a lens unit (3), having an entrance surface (3a) opposing the other surface (2b) of the substrate (2), for transmitting therethrough the light entering from the entrance surface (3a) after passing through the substrate (2); a spectroscopic unit (4), formed with the lens unit (3), for spectrally resolving and reflecting the light having entered the lens unit (3); a photodetector (4) for detecting the light reflected by the spectroscopic unit (4); and a support unit (8), disposed between the other surface (2b) and the entrance surface (3a), for supporting the lens unit (3) against the substrate (2). Since the support unit (8) forms a gap between the other surface (2b) and the entrance surface (3a) in the spectral module (1), the other surface (2b) and the entrance surface (3a) are prevented from coming into contact with each other and causing damages, whereby the spectral module (1) can improve its reliability.
