1. An analysis device for analyzing components contained in an object, the analysis device comprising:
a light emitting unit that irradiates the object with light; a transmissive spectral filter; a light detector comprising a plurality of light receiving elements; an analysis unit,
wherein the spectral filter includes:
a substrate having light transmissivity and being disposed on a light path of the light after being reflected by the object or the light after passing through the object;a plurality of raised portions formed with a metal material on one surface of the substrate; anda metal oxide film comprising a metal oxide material having a higher refractive index than the metal material, so as to cover the plurality of raised portions and the one surface of the substrate,wherein the plurality of raised portions are disposed such that the metal oxide film existing between adjacent raised portions serves as a diffraction grating, incident light that is incident on the raised portions propagating inside the raised portions as an evanescent wave,wherein at least one of a grating pitch of the diffraction grating, a height of the raised portions, and a thickness of the metal oxide film is set to a different value for each portion of the spectral filter, such that a wavelength of light that passes through the spectral filter changes for each of the portions,wherein the light detector is disposed such that each of the plurality of light receiving elements receives light that passes through the spectral filter,wherein the analysis unit acquires a spectrum of the object from output signals respectively output by the plurality of light receiving elements, identifies a component contained in the object from the acquired spectrum, selects a calibration curve corresponding to the identified component from a plurality of calibration curves prepared in advance, and calculates a content of the component using the selected calibration curve, andwherein the material of the substrate includes silicon oxide, and the metal oxide material of the metal oxide film includes titanium oxide (TiO2); a beam splitter that splits light irradiated by the light emitting unit; and a reference sensor unit that receives the light split by the beam splitter and outputs a reference signal, wherein the beam splitter is disposed between the light emitting unit and the object, wherein the reference sensor unit includes:
an attenuating filter,a second spectral filter that is the same as the spectral filter; anda second light detector that is the same as the light-detector, wherein the attenuating filter, the second spectral filter, and the second light detector are disposed such that the light split by the beam splitter is incident in order of the attenuating filter, the second spectral filter, and the second light detector, wherein a plurality of light receiving elements of the second light detector output signals according to incident light, and wherein the analysis unit corrects the output signal of each of the plurality of light receiving elements of the light detector based on the signals from the second light detector. |
