Abstract: A spectrometer includes a support having a bottom wall part in which a depression and a peripheral part are provided, and a side wall part, a light detection element supported by the side wall part while opposing the depression, and a dispersive part disposed on an inner surface of the depression. A length of the depression in a second direction in which a plurality of grating grooves included in the dispersive part is aligned is larger than a length of the depression in a third direction orthogonal to the second direction when viewed in a first direction in which the depression and the light detection element oppose each other. An area of the peripheral part adjacent to the depression in the second direction is larger than an area of the peripheral part adjacent to the depression in the third direction when viewed in the first direction.

Abstract: A PDA 5 has a plurality of light receiving elements. An A/D converter 30 converts an output signal from each of the light receiving elements of the PDA 5. A conversion processing unit 42 sequentially executes, for the plurality of light receiving elements, a conversion process of converting an output signal from an identical one of the light receiving elements at least twice within a preset time range with the A/D converter 30, to acquire at least two output values. An average value calculation unit 43 calculates an average value of the at least two output values for each of the light receiving elements acquired by the process executed by the conversion processing unit 42.

Abstract: A spectral imaging device is configured to capture color images synchronized with controlled illumination from different color light emitting diodes. A processor in the device applies a coupling factor to sampled color images to convert sampled pixels into spectral channels corresponding to LED color and color filter. Multi-spectral spectricity vectors produced at pixel locations are used along with spatial information to classify objects, such as produce items.

Abstract: A polychromator includes a substrate and a functional element having an optical spectral decomposition action. The functional element having an optical spectral decomposition action is configured to spectrally decompose electromagnetic radiation originating from an entry opening, e.g. light which originates from an optional radiation source and is reflected at a sample, so that a spectrally decomposed spectrum is obtained, and to image the spectrally decomposed spectrum onto a spatial area of the substrate. The substrate includes at least two transparent zones at different positions within the spatial area, so that two different spectral components of the spectrums are detectable at the two transparent zones.
