    Abstract: A miniature spectrometer comprises an input port, a light sensor, a miniature diffraction optical grating, an optical grating accommodation slot, a cushion, and an affixing plate. The miniature spectrometer may further comprise a waveguide device, and the optical grating accommodation slot is positioned in a space defined by an opening of the waveguide device. The input port receives an optical signal which proceeds in the waveguide device. The miniature diffraction optical grating separates the optical signal into numerous spectral components to be projected onto the light sensor. The cushion is stacked on the miniature diffraction optical grating, with both disposed in the optical grating accommodation slot. The affixing plate is disposed on the waveguide device to apply a compressing force on the cushion to affix the miniature diffraction optical grating in the optical grating accommodation slot.

    Abstract: An optical head for receiving an incident light is provided. The optical head comprises a reflective diffuser and a reflector disposed to face the reflective diffuser. The reflective diffuser is disposed in an optical path of the incident light and shields the reflector from the incident light. The reflective diffuser converts the incident light to scattered light having a Lambertian pattern. The reflector has an optical output section that transmits the scattered light and a reflective section that reflects the scattered light to the reflective diffuser and/or the other portions of the reflective sections. An optical system using the optical head is also provided.

    Abstract: A spectrometer comprising a waveguide module, a diffractive component, and a light sensor is provided. The waveguide module has a first reflective surface, a second reflective surface opposite to the first reflective surface, and a light channel between the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface. The diffractive component has a diffractive surface and a plurality of strip-shaped diffractive structures located on the diffractive surface. The sharpness of the profile of the strip-shaped diffractive structures on a first side of the diffractive surface is greater than that on a second side of the diffractive surface. When viewed along a direction perpendicular to the second reflective surface, the first side of the diffractive surface is positioned between the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface with a distance away from the second reflective surface. A method for assembling the spectrometer and an assembling system are also provided.

    Abstract: An optical mechanism for a miniaturized spectrometer comprises an input unit, an upper waveguide plate, a lower waveguide plate, and a miniature diffraction grating. The input unit is used to receive an optical signal and direct the optical signal to the interior of the optical mechanism. The upper waveguide plate has a first reflective surface. The lower waveguide plate having a second reflective surface aligned substantially parallel to the upper waveguide plate. The first reflective surface is located opposite to the second reflective surface. An optical channel is formed between the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface, so that optical signal from the input unit can travel in the optical channel. The miniature diffraction grating separates the optical signal transmitted in the optical channel into a plurality of spectral components and directs the spectral components to an image capture module at an end of the miniaturized spectrometer.
