In order to realize the detection of various spectrums, the traditional multiband imaging device needs to use different optical filters and then realizes the filtering of multiband by the control of a rotating wheel, thereby causing larger volume and inconvenient use; on the other hand, in order to realize multiband focusing and reduce aberration, multiband imaging also needs a large and complex optical component for continuously reducing aberration, and the traditional multiband imaging device has a large volume and a complex imaging system and is inconvenient to use.
The tunable optical filter is generally an optical filter with adjustable central wavelength of an optical band-pass filter, can be used for a multiband imaging system due to the flexibility of wavelength adjustment, effectively simplifies a multiband imaging device, and has wide application in the field of multispectral imaging. At present, the dimmable filter is mainly based on a MEMs FP structure, the technical requirements on the MEMs processing technology are very high, the technology is complex and difficult, the yield is low, and the application of the dimmable filter is limited.
