Title:
SPECTROMETER DEVICE AND SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/115594
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A spectrometer system (110) and a spectrometer device (112) are disclosed, which are suited for investigation or monitoring purposes, in particular, in the infrared (IR) spectral region, and for a detection of heat, flames, fire, or smoke. Herein, the spectrometer device (112) comprises: - an optical element (122) designed for receiving incident light (114) from an object (116) and transferring the incident light (114) to a length variable filter (118), wherein the optical element (122) is arranged in a manner that the incident light (114) is transferred to the length variable (118) filter along a light path which is asymmetric with respect to an optical axis (123) of the spectrometer device (112); - the length variable filter (118) which is designated for separating the incident light (114) into a spectrum of constituent wavelength signals; and - a detector array (120) comprising a plurality of pixelated sensors (144), wherein each of the pixelated sensors (144) is adapted to receive at least a portion of one of the constituent wavelength signals, wherein each of the constituent wavelength signals is related to an intensity of each constituent wavelength. The spectrometer device (112) allows capturing incident light (114) from the object (116) and transferring the incident light (114) to the length variable filter (118) with a particularly high concentration efficiency. Apart from the spectrometer device (112), the spectrometer system (110) further comprises an evaluation unit (150) designated for determining information related to a spectrum of an object (116) by evaluating the detector signals (172, 172', 172'') provided by the spectrometer device (112).
