Abstract: An optical filter element for devices for converting spectral information into location information, uses a connected detector for detecting signals. The element has at least two microresonators, each comprising at least two superposed reflective layer structures of a material layer having a high refractive index and a material layer having a low refractive index in an alternating sequence, and at least one superposed resonance layer arranged between the two superposed reflective layer structures. The filter element comprises at least one transparent plane-parallel substrate for optically decoupling the two microresonators; the first microresonator being located on a first of two opposing surfaces of said substrate, and the second microresonator being located on said substrate on a second surface thereof that lies opposite the first surface. The resonance layer of at least one microresonator, and/or the reflective layer structure that surrounds said resonance layer, has a layer thickness which can vary along a horizontal axis of said filter element.

Abstract: A spectrometer comprises a plurality of isolated optical channels comprising a plurality of isolated optical paths. The isolated optical paths decrease cross-talk among the optical paths and allow the spectrometer to have a decreased length with increased resolution. In many embodiments, the isolated optical paths comprise isolated parallel optical paths that allow the length of the device to be decreased substantially. In many embodiments, each isolated optical path extends from a filter of a filter array, through a lens of a lens array, through a channel of a support array, to a region of a sensor array. Each region of the sensor array comprises a plurality of sensor elements in which a location of the sensor element corresponds to the wavelength of light received based on an angle of light received at the location, the focal length of the lens and the central wavelength of the filter.

Abstract: The multispectral detection device comprises first and second photodetectors sensitive to two different wavelengths. The two photodetectors are connected to two integration capacitors of two different readout circuits. Two reset circuits are configured so as to initialise the two integration capacitors separately. A first synchronisation circuit is connected to the first readout circuit and to the synchronisation signal and clock signal generators. The first synchronisation circuit is configured in such a way as to define the frame by detection of a leading edge of the synchronisation signal, count the number of occurrences of a trailing edge of the clock signal, initiate or terminate a data acquisition phase when the number of occurrences of trailing edges is equal to a threshold value recorded in a register of the first synchronisation circuit.
