This analysis device is capable of handling analysis of a wide variety of components while suppressing an increase in device size is provided. The analysis device (1) is provided with a light emitting unit (10), a transmissive spectral filter (22), a light detector (23), and an analysis unit (31). The spectral filter (22) is provided with a light transmissive substrate, a plurality of raised portions formed with a first metal material on one surface of the substrate, and a metal film formed using a second metal material having a higher refractive index than the first metal material, so as to cover the raised portions and the one surface. The raised portions are disposed such that the metal film existing between the raised portions serves as a diffraction grating and the raised portions serve as a waveguide. The grating pitch of the diffraction grating, the height of the raised portions and the thickness of the metal film are set to a different value for each portion of the spectral filter, such that the wavelength of the transmitted light of the spectral filter changes for each of the portions. The light detector (23) is disposed such that each light receiving element (24) receives transmitted light of the spectral filter. The analysis unit (31) acquires the spectrum of the object (40) from the output signals of the light receiving elements (24).
Abstract:
A color shifting security device has a Fabry-Perot type structure wherein a dielectric layer (702) is disposed between a reflector (701) and an absorbing layer (703). The absorber and reflector layers may be conforming and the dielectric layer therebetween is non-conforming, filling the regions in the micro structured adjacent absorbing or reflecting layer, at least one of which has a microstructure therein or thereon. By having the dielectric layer not conform to the microstructure it is next to, its thickness varies in cross section, which allows for different colors to be seen where the thickness (t1) varies.
