Spectrometer

Abstract

A spectrometer includes a plurality of photodetectors, an anti-reflection layer, a grating layer, a distant layer, and a collimator. The anti-reflection layer is disposed on the plurality of photodetectors. The grating layer is disposed above the anti-reflection layer and includes a plurality of grating structures to spread a light into a spectrum to the plurality of photodetectors through the distant layer. The distant layer continuously extends from the grating layer to the anti-reflection layer, the distant layer has a thickness in a range from 400 μm to 2000 μm, and a refractive index of the grating layer is greater than a refractive index of the distant layer. The collimator is disposed above the grating layer, in which the collimator is configured to confine an incident angle of the light from a first micro-lens.
