Abstract
A spectrometer includes a light conduit configured to align scattered light scattered in a target by light output from a light source into a collimated beam, and a beam block configured to restrict an angle of the scattered light and detect the scattered light via the light conduit or the beam block through a filter array and a detector, thereby achieving miniaturization in a pen type or a flat plate shape while maintaining a spectral characteristic.
Claims21
A spectrometer comprising:
- a light source;
- a beam block disposed between the light source and a target and comprising a plurality of block ends extending in the same first direction and a plurality of supports extending in the same second direction intersecting the first direction, the plurality of supports respectively configured to support the plurality of block ends, the beam block configured to restrict an angle of a light scattered by the target;
- a filter array comprising filters configured to transmit a predetermined wavelength band of the light restricted by the beam block;
- and
- a detector array comprising detector cells configured to detect the light transmitted through the filters,
- wherein the beam block is further configured to restrict an angle, at which the light scattered by the target is incident on the detector cells, based on a size of an opening defined by two neighboring block ends of the plurality of block ends.
