Abstract:
The present technology relates to solid-state image sensor and an imaging system which are capable of providing a solid-state image sensor and an imaging system which are capable of realizing a spectroscopic/imaging device for visible/near-infrared light having a high sensitivity and high wavelength resolution, and of achieving two-dimensional spectrum mapping with high spatial resolution. There are provided a two-dimensional pixel array, and a plurality of types of filters that are arranged facing a pixel region of the two-dimensional pixel array, the filters each including a spectrum function and a periodic fine pattern shorter than a wavelength to be detected, wherein each of the filters forms a unit which is larger than the photoelectric conversion device of each pixel on the two-dimensional pixel array, where one type of filter is arranged for a plurality of adjacent photoelectric conversion device groups, wherein the plurality of types of filters are arranged for adjacent unit groups to form a filter bank, and wherein the filter banks are arranged in a unit of N×M, where N and M are integers of one or more, facing the pixel region of the two-dimensional pixel array.
