SPECTROSCOPIC IMAGING SENSOR

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a spectroscopic imaging sensor wherein its mechanical strength is high and can be operated simply. CONSTITUTION:The imaging sensor is provided with a spectroscopic filter 12 in which a plurality of predetermined pixels are formed as one group, which corresponds to many groups of pixel arrays arranged repeatedly on a two-dimensional plane and in which group filter parts having arranged minute filter parts 13 having respectively different transmission spectroscopic characteristics with reference to the individual pixels in each group are arranged repeatedly so as to correspond to many groups, with a two-dimensional solid-state image sensing device 5 having many photoelectric conversion elements 7 installed so as to correspond to the individual pixels in a pixel array and with an optical filter plate 9 composed of the aggregate of optical fibers optically connecting the individual minute filter parts 13 to the individual photoelectric conversion elements 7. The imaging sensor is constituted in such a way that an image which is incident from the spectroscopic filter is sensed by the two-dimensional solid-state image-sensing device 5 via the optical fiber plate 9.
