Optical environmental sensor and method of manufacturing the sensor

摘要

The present invention discloses a sensor (16000) which reacts on influences from an environment, the sensor comprising a zero-order diffractive color filter (16400), the zero-order diffractive color filter (16400) comprising a high-index waveguide layer (16300), a zero-order diffractive grating structure and a layer of an reactive material (16500), wherein the reactive material (16500) is in contact with the environment and wherein the reactive material (16500) changes its optical properties upon interaction with the environment and wherein the reactive material (16500) is embedded in the waveguide layer (16300) and/or the reactive material (16500) is located at a maximum distance (d) from the waveguide layer (16300), whereby the distancing is effected by an intra layer (16200) having a low index of refraction.
