Abstract:
A light detection device includes a Fabry-Perot interference filter provided with a light transmitting region on a predetermined line, a light detector disposed on one side with respect to the Fabry-Perot interference filter on the line, a package having an opening positioned on the other side with respect to the Fabry-Perot interference filter on the line, a light transmitting member provided in the package such that the opening is blocked, and a temperature control element having an endothermic region thermally connected to the Fabry-Perot interference filter and the light detector. The endothermic region is positioned on one side with respect to the light detector on the line.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a Fabry-Perot interference filter includes a forming step of forming a first thinned region, a first mirror layer, a sacrificial layer, and a second mirror layer are formed on a first main surface of a wafer, and the first thinned region in which at least one of the first mirror layer, the sacrificial layer, and the second mirror layer is partially thinned along each of a plurality of lines is formed; a cutting step of cutting the wafer into a plurality of substrates along each of the plurality of lines by forming a modified region within the wafer along each of the plurality of lines through irradiation of a laser light, after the forming step; and a removing step of removing a portion from the sacrificial layer through etching, between the forming step and the cutting step or after the cutting step.
Abstract:
A light detection device includes: a Fabry-Perot interference filter provided with a light transmission region; a light detector configured to detect light transmitted through the light transmission region; a package having an opening and accommodating the Fabry-Perot interference filter and the light detector; and a light transmitting unit arranged on an inner surface of the package so as to close an opening, the light transmitting unit including a band pass filter configured to transmit light incident on the light transmission region. When viewed from a direction parallel to the line, an outer edge of the Fabry-Perot interference filter is positioned outside an outer edge of the opening, and an outer edge of the light transmitting unit is positioned outside the outer edge of the Fabry-Perot interference filter.
