MEMS-FPI spectrum sensor
C13272-01
Ultra-compact near infrared spectrum sensor
that integrates MEMS tunable filter and photosensor
The MEMS-FPI spectrum sensor is a ultra-compact sensor that houses a MEMS-FPI (Fabry-Perot Interferometer) tunable filter
that can vary its transmission wavelength depending on the applied voltage and InGaAs PIN photodiode in a single package.
The spectral response range is 1550 to 1850 nm. It is suitable for installation in compact devices for identifying materials in
plastic and solutions and other similar applications.

*1: Applying a voltage that is +0.5 V or higher than Vλ1550nm (filter control voltage to transmit light at λ=1550 nm) at a specific temperature
may damage the MEMS-FPI tunable filter. For Vλ1550nm of individual products at Ta=25°C, see the final inspection sheet.
*2: No condensation
When there is a temperature difference between a product and the surrounding area in high humidity environment, dew condensation
may occur on the product surface. Dew condensation on the product may cause deterioration in characteristics and reliability.
Note: Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings even momentarily may cause a drop in product quality. Always be sure to use the
product within the absolute maximum ratings.

· Unwanted transmission in a range outside the spectral response range may occur due to higher order
mode and the like as a MEMS-FPI tunable filter’s
feature. Use of a band-pass filter is recommended
for removing this effect if a white light is taken for
a source.
· There is tolerance in filter control voltage for arbitrary peak transmission wavelength from unit to
unit. The individual data for Vλ1850nm and Vλ1550nm
at Ta=25 °C is to be described in an inspection
sheet attached with a product on delivery.

MEMS-FPI spectrum sensor structure
The MEMS-FPI spectrum sensor is composed of a MEMS-FPI tunable filter, photosensor (photodiode), and the like. It has a simple structure in which a MEMS-FPI tunable filter and photosensor is arranged on the same axis as the direction of the incident light. Though this
product is a spectrum sensor, it uses a single-element photosensor and does not require an expensive multichannel photosensor.

MEMS-FPI tunable filter
The MEMS-FPI tunable filter has an upper mirror and a lower mirror that are placed opposite each other with an air gap in between
them. When a voltage is applied across the mirrors, an electrostatic attractive force is produced to adjust the air gap. To facilitate this
action, the upper mirror has a membrane (thin film) structure. If the air gap is mλ/2 (m: integer), it functions as a filter that allows
wavelengths near λ to pass through. When the filter control voltage is increased, the air gap is narrowed by the electrostatic attractive
force, and the transmission peak wavelength shifts to the short-wavelength side.

Precautions
Note the following when handling the product and also after installing into a device.
Handling
∙ When touching the product, it is recommended to wear gloves or use tweezers. Touching the product with bare hands may cause
degradation in characteristics and plating corrosion and may lead to problems with solder wettability.
∙ Perform work in a clean place.
Filter control voltage
∙ Apply filter control voltage as defined by the absolute maximum ratings. Applying a filter control voltage exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the MEMS-FPI tunable filter.
Static electricity
∙ The MEMS-FPI spectrum sensor is an electrostatic sensitive device. When handling the product, precautions need to be taken to avoid
damage and deterioration due to static electricity.
