The sensing face 40S systems of CIS 40 are placed into the diffraction light that it can be made to be centrally located on Rowland circle RC and focused on Point, and its surface system is perpendicular to the main beam from point O, as shown in Figure 1.That is, the sensing face 40S systems position of CIS 40 In on focal plane.In the present embodiment, simulated using 1.50mm (horizontal size) * 0.90mm (vertical dimension) sensor. Especially, when being simulated using software, width G can be changed, and incident beam is vertical (in Fig. 2A sagittal surface On (sagittal plane) SP) divergence half-angle can also change, but the position of CIS 40 is to immobilize.All In simulation, (on meridian plane) divergence half-angle of the level of incident beam is maintained at 12 °.
Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 C are shown in the distribution of the diffraction image of the simulation in the sensing face on CIS, and it is right respectively Should be to width G=1,3 and 5mm.Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 C are referred to, diffraction shadow image distortion is partitioned into two afterbodys, and forms one Falcate is distributed.On most wide width (G=5mm) in simulations, the intensity distribution system in y directions, which is actually greater than, simulates Sensing face 40S width h.Therefore, the distribution for being shown in Fig. 3 C ties up to y directions and is truncated, without completely such as Fig. 3 A and 3B Shown be subtracted is entered in CIS 40.From Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 C, when width G is bigger, bent moon imaging is not more curved Song, and CIS 40 more can be made not detect two afterbodys of bent moon imaging, and then detected CIS 40 Spectrum less influenceed by smearing (i.e. effect caused by astigmatism).However, when width G is bigger, bent moon is imaged more not Bending, thus enter the light energy in sensing face 40S (i.e. in the range of h) it is fewer (from Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 C comparison can it is obvious must Know), spectrum signal can be caused weaker.Therefore, the value of appropriate width G can be selected in response to actual use demand.
(i.e. sensing face 40S width h), it is, for example, 200 μ to the vertical pixel dimension represented in Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 C with h M, its for commercial commercially available CIS 40 sensing face 40S width h, other commercial commercially available CISs 40 vertical pixel dimension still has 50 μm, 500 μm or other sizes.In order in collecting more light on linear CIS 40 Signal, larger vertical pixel dimension can be used.However, larger vertical pixel dimension includes the falcate image of more parts Afterbody (referring to Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 C), and cause incorrect wavelength readings.It follows that except can be selected in response to actual demand Outside the value of appropriate width G, can also arrange in pairs or groups the appropriate width h values of selection.
In embodiments of the invention, a kind of journey to the removal smearing from spectroscopic data has dexterously been designed Sequence, the mode taken are:(1) first simulated using software using caused result during different width Gs;And (2) choosing Select appropriate vertical pixel dimension (the i.e. width h) of linear CIS.By allowing in sensor plane and waveguide side Some gap between edge, the focus pattern of synthesis expand into falcate distribution (referring to Fig. 3 A to figure in detector plane 3C).With vertical pixel height, (i.e. width h) is placed in y=0 (referring to Fig. 3 A to Fig. 3 C), and linear CIS only captures The middle body of falcate image distribution.Using such a G-h Regulation mechanisms, embodiments of the invention can be fully solved hangover effect The problem answered.
Thereby, designer can obtain or adjust above-mentioned width G according to the parameter of CIS easily, effectively to disappear Except the harmful effect caused by smearing.The design specification of conventional spectrometers be in order to reduce light loss, must be by plane wave Lead and abut CIS.The design specification that embodiments of the present invention are then complete escape conventional spectrometers is reviewed, uses allowing shadow As sensor can obtain good spectroscopic data.
Although it is worth noting that, it is with for the diffraction grating of Rowland circle and fixed knot away from d in embodiments of the invention It is bright, but because the diffraction grating of Rowland circle and fixed knot away from d is the basis of diffraction theory, embodiments of the invention are also same When suitable for non-Rowland circle and the diffraction grating of on-fixed pitch, and the profile of diffraction grating can include straight line, circular arc or its His curved surface, so may not necessarily be located on input unit 20 and CIS 40 on Rowland circle RC.
In the spectrometer 1 of the present embodiment, due to opening 501, therefore spectrum between end E1 and CIS 40 be present It can cause the part (the larger part of the angle of divergence) of smearing can be from waveguide space S end E1 toward less likely in component S3 It is transferred to sensing face 40S directional divergence.Consequently, it is possible to can be so that the spectrum that spectrometer 1 is sensed less be trailed The influence of effect.
In the present embodiment, the opening 501 formed by extension 54 and light extraction end E55 dissipates breach for a light, and is open 501 prolonging positioned at the first reflecting surface 52 of light bang path (such as Fig. 1 second light path OP2) orthographic projection to the first speculum 51 Stretch the position in face.In fig. 2b, the quantity of extension 54 is exemplified by two.However, in other embodiments, if width G can To maintain, extension 54 can also only have one, such as the only extension 54 of Fig. 2 B rights.
In the present embodiment, 501 width G of being open can influence above-mentioned at least part of these spectral components S3 falcate Distribution, sensing face 40S can influence the product of CIS 40 in the width h on the direction of the normal parallel to the first reflecting surface 52 Divide scope, waveguide space S optical signal S2 is injected in the direction of the normal parallel to the first reflecting surface 52 by input unit 20 Divergence half-angle (divergence half-angle of light beam on sagittal surface) can influence the expansion of falcate.Above-mentioned simulation program is existed by opening 501 Width G, above-mentioned divergence half-angle on the direction of light wave conduction are with sensing face 40S in the side of the normal parallel to the first reflecting surface 52 Upward width h is engaged, and 501 width G of being open allows these spectral components to have part along parallel to the first reflecting surface 52 The directional divergence of normal, make two afterbodys that falcate derived from divergence half-angle is distributed generally without falling into CIS 40 In limit of integration.
In the present embodiment, be open 501 width G be more than or equal to 1 millimeter.In one embodiment, be open 501 width G is fallen in the scope from 1 millimeter to 5 millimeters.
In the present embodiment, it is to have by the first speculum 51 against exemplified by the extension 54 of CIS 40, and the Two-mirror 56 is then not against CIS 40.However, in other embodiments or the second speculum 56 has Light end (such as light extraction end E55) and the extension (such as extension 54) against CIS 40, and the first speculum 51 is not against CIS 40 and do not have extension 54.Or in other embodiments or the first speculum 51 and second anti- Penetrating mirror 56 all each has light extraction end E55 and the extension 54 against CIS 40.In addition, in the present embodiment, be with First speculum 51 has exemplified by opening 501 and the second speculum 56 do not have an opening 501.However, in other embodiments, also Can be that there is the second speculum 56 opening 501 and the first speculum 51 have an opening 501, or the first speculum 51 and Second speculum 56 all has opening 501.
In the present embodiment, spectrometer 1 further includes light benefit and catches structure 12 (as depicted in Fig. 2 D), is configured at waveguide space Outside S, and to absorb the light dissipated from opening 501.Light benefit, which catches structure 12, can be provided at body 10 (i.e. the housing of spectrometer 1) On hackly surface structure or other appropriate non-planar surfaces structures, light-absorption layer can be coated with thereon.Dissipated when from opening 501 Light incident light mend when catching structure 12, hackly surface structure constantly can reflect light toward zigzag concave bottom, and per anti- Penetrate a light-absorption layer and just absorb once light more.Therefore, light benefit is caught structure 12 and effectively can inhaled the light dissipated from opening 501 Receive, become to inject the chance of the veiling glare of CIS 40 effectively to reduce this light.In another embodiment, table in body 10 Face has and can be coated with light-absorption layer, and this light-absorption layer absorbs the light dissipated from opening 501, without catching structure 12 using light benefit come extinction.
Fig. 4 A to Fig. 4 D illustrate other four kinds changes of Fig. 2 B opening.Please also refer to Fig. 4 A, the light extraction end of waveguide section 551 Multiple diverse locations on E551 to CIS 40 distance (be open 501 diverse location width G) incomplete phase Together.In the present embodiment, light extraction end E551 edge tilts with respect to sensing face 40S, inclined to define relative sensing face 40S The end E11 of waveguide space.In another embodiment, light extraction end E551 edge can also be unsmooth edge, such as sawtooth Shape edge, stepped edges or the edge for having segment difference, the present invention are not limited.In addition, also can be according to the light of different wave length Different focal positions correspond to the width G that design is different at the diverse location of opening 501.
However, in other embodiments, as depicted in Fig. 4 B, the light extraction end E552 of waveguide section 552 edge can be an arc Shape edge, to define the end E12 of curved waveguide space.End E11 and end E12 design can be in response to Different lightwave Grow that the caused parsing effect on sensing face 40S is different, and determine to allow and correspond to this wavelength on the E11 of end and be located proximate to feel Survey face 40S some with promotion feeling luminous intensity, or away from sensing face 40S some to lift resolution.
In general, the resolution of the light of short wavelength is preferable, so the position on the E11 of end corresponding to short wavelength can be set Count into closer sensing face 40S.Conversely, the position on the E11 of end corresponding to long wavelength can be designed to further away from sensing face 40S.In addition, in other different embodiments, also different width Gs can be designed in response to the difference of the wavelength of required detecting Value.
Referring again to Fig. 4 C, the first speculum 51 may include multiple openings 501 (such as opening 501a and opening 501b), its Split shed 501a is open for closing, between diffraction grating 30 and CIS 40.Extension 543 goes out with waveguide section 55 Light end E553 can also form opening 501b, and now, the end E13 of waveguide space is defined by light extraction end E553.In this reality Apply in example, width Gs 1 and opening 501b width G 2 on direction that light wave conduct of the opening 501a on the direction that light wave conducts Can be with identical or different.When width G 1, G2 are bigger, the light of the smaller angle of divergence can be made to be dissipated from opening 501.For example, Width G 2 is more than width G 1, and the angle of divergence is that the light of 70 to 90 degree can dissipate from opening 501a, and the angle of divergence is the light of 60 to 90 degree It can be dissipated from opening 501b.In other embodiments, can also be that the opening 501a for having multiple closings is arranged in light wave and conducted On direction.In another embodiment, 501 (such as the 501a that are open) are open parallel to the first reflecting surface 52 and the second reflecting surface 57 At least one of bearing of trend relative to CIS 40 sensing face 40S tilt.
