- the linear variable wavelength filter 21 has different wavelength components L k to be transmitted depending on the incident position of the light L. Therefore, a wide range of wavelength components can be detected by changing the angle (incident angle) of the light L incident on each incident position. That is, even if the light L includes a wide range of wavelength components, specific wavelength components can be separated with a simple configuration.
- the spectroscope 1 includes a plurality of light receiving elements 5 that are disposed at positions corresponding to a plurality of incident positions and receive light transmitted through the filter unit 2.

- the different wavelength components contained in the light L can be extracted, so that the time required for spectroscopy can be shortened.
- the light projecting means 3 it is possible to use a convex mirror that is not driven (that is, fixedly arranged). As long as the light projection means 3 can change the advancing direction of the light L, the specific structure is arbitrary.
- ⁇ Modification 2> Although demonstrated by the structure which uses the linear wavelength variable filter 21 as the filter part 2, it is not restricted to this. For example, it is known that even if a band-pass filter has uniform transmission characteristics, the transmission wavelength varies as a result of the propagation distance of light passing through the band-pass filter depending on the incident angle of light incident on the band-pass filter. ing. An example is shown in FIG. In the graph of FIG. 7, the vertical axis represents the transmission peak wavelength (nm) and the horizontal axis represents the incident angle (deg).

図1から図5を参照して、第1の実施形態に係る分光器について説明を行う。
分光器1内において、フィルタ部2は投光手段3からの光Lが入射する位置に配置されている。なお、本実施形態及び変形例1では、フィルタ部2として線形可変波長フィルタ21を用いる構成について説明を行う。また、変形例2では、透過特性が均一のバンドパスフィルタを用いる構成について説明を行う。
投光手段3は、光ファイバF等により導かれて分光器1内に入射した光Lを、入射面2aの長手方向(図2Bのγ方向)における位置が異なる複数の入射位置に対して、それぞれ異なる入射角度で入射させる。本実施形態における入射角度は、投光手段3が初期位置にあるときの法線を基準とし、当該法線に対する光Lの傾きで表される角度である。なお、「初期位置」とは、例えばフィルタ部2の出射面2bとミラー部3aの反射面31aとが平行になっているときのミラー部3aの位置をいう。
反射部材4は、ミラー等の光学素子である。反射部材4は、フィルタ部2の出射面2b側に配置される。反射部材4には、フィルタ部2を透過した波長成分Lkを反射する反射面4aが形成されている。反射面4aは、出射面2bに臨み、その長手方向に対して平行に配置される(図2B参照)。その結果、反射面4aは入射面2aに対して非平行に配置される(図2A及び図2B参照)。反射面4aで反射された波長成分Lkは、上述の通り、光Lがフィルタ部2を透過した経路α(図2B参照)とほぼ同じ経路β(図2B参照)を経由して、受光素子5に導かれる。反射部材4は、出射面2bから出射された波長成分Lkを反射できるように出射面2bの長手方向における長さと同じ長さで形成されている。
受光素子5は、フィルタ部2を透過した波長成分Lkを受光する。受光素子5は例えばPD(Photo Detector)である。受光素子5は、入射面2aの複数の入射位置に対応する位置に複数設けられている(図2B参照)。すなわち、複数の受光素子5-k(k=1~n)は、複数の入射位置と一対一の対応関係にある。
スペクトル解析部6は、受光素子5で受光された波長成分Lkに基づく電気信号を解析し、当該波長Lkに含まれる情報を抽出する。
次に、図4を参照して本実施形態の分光器1における光Lの進み方について説明を行う。図4は、分光器1の内部を上側(x-y方向)から見た図である。なお、図4においては、説明の便宜上、n個の光Lが投光手段3の異なる位置で反射されるように記載されているが、実際には投光手段3の実質的に同一位置にて各光Lは反射される。図4に示す構成では、フィルタ部2として線形可変波長フィルタ21を用い、投光手段3としてMEMSミラーを用いる。図4は、光ファイバFを介して分光器1に入射した複数の波長成分L1~Lnが重畳された光Lが投光手段3から線形可変波長フィルタ21を透過し、当該フィルタで分離された波長成分Lkが反射部材4で反射され、受光素子5-k(k=1~n)に至るまでの一例を示している。線形可変波長フィルタ21の入射面21aにおける入射位置は、n箇所あるとする。これを入射位置21ak(k=1~n)とする。光Lが入射位置21akに対して入射する入射角度θk(k=1~n)は、MEMSミラーが初期位置にあるときの法線Nに対して線形可変波長フィルタ21の厚みが厚くなる方向から入射する光Lの傾きを正とし、法線Nに対して線形可変波長フィルタ21の厚みが薄くなる方向から入射する光Lの傾きを負とする。図4では、線形可変波長フィルタ21の境界面(入射面21a及び出射面21b)での屈折は無視している。なお、図4は分光器1の内部を上側から見た図であるため、投光手段3、線形可変波長フィルタ21、反射部材4、及び受光素子5-kが同一平面上にあるように記載されているが、実際には、図2Aに示すように、それぞれのz方向の位置は異なっている。
本実施形態に係る分光器の作用及び効果について説明する。
上記実施形態では、投光手段3としてMEMSミラー等を用いる構成について説明を行ったがこれに限られない。図6に示すように、投光手段3としてレンズ部材7を用い、フィルタ部2の出射面2b側に受光素子5を配置する構成も可能である。
上記実施形態では、フィルタ部2として線形波長可変フィルタ21を用いる構成で説明を行ったがこれに限られない。例えば、透過特性が均一のバンドパスフィルタであっても、当該バンドパスフィルタに入射する光の入射角度によってバンドパスフィルタを通過する光の伝搬距離が異なる結果、透過する波長も異なることが知られている。その一例を図7に示す。なお、図7のグラフでは、縦軸を透過ピーク波長(nm)とし、横軸を入射角度(deg)としている。
図8から図12を参照して、本実施形態に係る分光器について説明を行う。
分光器301内において、フィルタ部302は投光手段303からの光Lが入射する位置に配置されている。なお、本実施形態及び変形例1では、フィルタ部302(フィルタ302a~302c(後述))として線形可変波長フィルタを用いる構成について説明を行う。変形例2では、透過特性が均一のバンドパスフィルタを用いる構成について説明を行う。変形例3では、所定方向において複数の入射位置を透過する波長成分の中心波長が異なり、当該所定方向と直交する方向において透過する波長成分の中心波長が等しくなるようなフィルタを用いる構成について説明を行う。
投光手段303は、光ファイバF等により導かれて分光器301内に入射した光Lを、入射面321(入射面321a~321c)の2次元的に位置が異なる複数の入射位置に対して、それぞれ異なる入射角度で入射させる。本実施形態における入射角度は、投光手段303が初期位置にあるときの法線を基準とし、当該法線に対する光Lの傾きで表される角度である。なお、「初期位置」とは、例えばフィルタ部302の出射面322とミラー部303aの反射面331aとが平行になっているときのミラー部303aの位置をいう。
反射部材304は、ミラー等の光学素子である。反射部材304は、フィルタ部302の出射面322側に配置される。反射部材304には、フィルタ部302を透過した波長成分Lkを反射する反射面304aが形成されている。反射面304aは、出射面322に臨み、その長手方向に対して平行に配置される(図9B参照)。その結果、反射面304aは入射面321に対して非平行に配置される(図9A及び図9B参照)。反射面304aで反射された波長成分Lkは、上述の通り、光Lがフィルタ部302を透過した経路α(図9B参照)とほぼ同じ経路β(図9B参照)を経由して、受光素子305に導かれる。反射部材304は、出射面322から出射された波長成分Lkを反射できるように出射面322の長手方向における長さと同じ長さで形成されている。
受光素子305は、フィルタ部302を透過した波長成分Lkを受光する。受光素子305は例えばPD(Photo Detector)である。受光素子305は、入射面321の複数の入射位置に対応する位置に複数設けられている(図9B参照)。すなわち、複数の受光素子305-k(k=1~n)は、複数の入射位置と一対一の対応関係にある。本実施形態では、入射面321の複数の入射位置は2次元的な広がりを有する。従って、複数の受光素子305-kもその入射位置に対応して2次元的な広がりをもって配置される。
スペクトル解析部306は、受光素子305で受光された波長成分Lkに基づく電気信号を解析し、当該波長Lkに含まれる情報を抽出する。
次に、図11を参照して本実施形態の分光器301における光Lの進み方について説明を行う。図11は、分光器301の内部を上側(x-y方向)から見た図である。なお、図11においては、説明の便宜上、n個の光Lが投光手段303の異なる位置で反射されるように記載されているが、実際には投光手段303の実質的に同一位置にて各光Lは反射される。図11は、フィルタ部302として線形可変波長フィルタ302a・302b・302c、投光手段303としてMEMSミラーを用いる。図11は、光ファイバFを介して分光器301に入射した光Lが投光手段303から線形可変波長フィルタ302a・302b・302cを透過し、当該フィルタで分離された波長成分Lam(Lbm・Lcm:m=1~n)が反射部材304で反射され、受光素子351-k(352-k・353-k:k=1~n)に至るまでの一例を示している。線形可変波長フィルタ302a・302b・302cの入射面321a・321b・321cにおける入射位置は、それぞれn箇所あるとする。これを入射位置321ak・321bk・321ck(k=1~n)とする。光Lが入射位置321ak・322ak・323akに対して入射する入射角度θk(k=1~n)は、MEMSミラーが初期位置にあるときの法線N(図11参照)を基準(つまりθk=0)として、線形可変波長フィルタ302a・302b・302cの厚みが厚くなる方向(+x方向)を正とし、薄くなる方向(-x方向)を負とする。受光素子305としては、入射位置321ak・321bk・321ck(k=1~n)に対応する位置に、受光素子351-k・352-k・353-kが設けられているものとする。図11では、線形可変波長フィルタ302a・302b・302cの境界面(入射面321a・321b・321c、及び出射面322a・322b・322c)での屈折は無視している。なお、図11は分光器301の内部を上側から見た図であるため、投光手段303、線形可変波長フィルタ302a(302b、302c)、反射部材304、及び受光素子3051-k(352-k、353-k)が同一平面上にあるように記載されているが、実際には、図9Aに示すように、それぞれのz方向の位置は異なっている。
本実施形態に係る分光器の作用及び効果について説明する。
上記実施形態では、投光手段303としてMEMSミラー等を用いる構成について説明を行ったがこれに限られない。図13に示すように、投光手段303としてレンズ部材307を用い、フィルタ部302の出射面322側に受光素子305を配置する構成も可能である。
上記実施形態では、フィルタ部302として複数の線形波長可変フィルタを用いる構成で説明を行ったがこれに限られない。例えば、透過特性が均一のバンドパスフィルタであっても、当該バンドパスフィルタに入射する光の入射角度によってバンドパスフィルタを通過する光の伝搬距離が異なる結果、透過する波長も異なることが知られている。その一例を図14に示す。なお、図14のグラフでは、縦軸を透過ピーク波長(nm)とし、横軸を入射角度(deg)としている。
また、フィルタ部302として図15に示すようなフィルタ510を用いることも可能である。図15はフィルタ510を入射面510a側から見た図である。本変形例では、フィルタ510の長辺方向をx方向とし、フィルタ510の短辺方向をy方向として説明を行う。
