We fabricate a device that configures the tunable air gap Fabry‒Pérot filter with a static gradient thickness filter to estimate air gap dimension in tunable filter. The chip-level microelectromechanical integration of gradient thickness filter can serve the purpose of device miniaturization while performing air gap sensing in visible wavelength range.

(a) Concept of the proposed device, The tunable air gap Fabry–Pérot filter integrated with a static gradient thickness filter is equipped on a CMOS image sensor. I(λ), spectral intensity of the broadband incident light; I(λp), spectrally-selective transmission intensity from the single filter region; and I(λp, X), spectrally-selective and spatially-resolved transmission intensity from the double filter region. (b) Thickness dependency of the tunable air gap FPF (Tair gap) and static gradient thickness filter (Tgradient) for similar transmission characteristics.
Simulated transmission spectra of (a) the tunable air gap FPF by varying Tair gap from 135 nm to 295 nm and (b) the static gradient thickness filter by varying Tgradient from 75 nm to 185 nm over the designed wavelength range of 400–700 nm.
(a) Schematic of the cross-sectional view of the device after assembly of the top and bottom (integrating static gradient thickness filter on the opposite side) mirrors of the tunable air gap FPF by means of a PZT using glue. The double filter region shows a filter position (X) dependent wavelength variation whereas the single filter region shows a single wavelength distribution across the filter position (X). The insets in (a) depict the in-plane view of the X-dependent color distribution for illustration purposes only. (b) Photograph of the top view of the device after assembly. Colored interference fringes appear at regions where the top mirror overlaps with the bottom mirror. The inset in (b) shows a photograph of the cross-sectional view of the device after assembly.
Measured transmittance of the tunable air gap FPF (single filter region) at X = 0.00 mm (bottom panel), X = 0.25 mm (middle panel), and X = 0.50 mm (top panel) under Vapp = 0.00 V over the designed wavelength range from 400 to 700 nm. The red dashed curve indicates the simulated transmission spectrum of the air gap FPF for Tair gap = 2.70 µm (bottom panel), Tair gap = 2.72 µm (middle panel), and Tair gap = 2.75 µm (top panel).
Measured transmission spectra of the (a) single filter region at spatial positions X = 0.00, 0.25, and 0.50 mm and (b) double filter region at spatial positions X = 0.00–0.50 mm, in intervals of 0.10 mm under the applied voltages to PZT of Vapp = 0.00 V (bottom panel) and Vapp = 5.00 V (top panel).

We fabricate a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based device configuring the tunable air gap Fabry–Pérot filter (FPF) with a static gradient thickness filter on the same platform. The proposed double filter configuration offers a wavelength calibration approach that accurately estimates the air gap dimension in the tunable air gap FPF. The wavelength calibration is performed by utilizing the spectrally-selective and spatially-resolved transmission characteristics of the tunable air gap FPF and the static gradient thickness filter, respectively. The MEMS-compatible chip-level integration of the static gradient thickness filter facilitates device miniaturization to enable its use in handheld devices.

A miniature low-cost pixelated gradient thickness optical filter is proposed to achieve spectroscopy in the visible wavelength range. The optical filter consists of a two-dimensional array of metal-dielectric-metal thin films arranged in Fabry–Pérot filter configurations with discretely varying cavity thicknesses. The wavelength-selective characterization of each filter is performed by measuring the transmittance over the visible wavelength range. The pixelated gradient thickness filter is equipped with a CMOS image sensor, and its performance as a spectroscopic module is evaluated by illuminating different monochromatic wavelengths on it. The target spectra are successfully reconstructed from the output signals recorded in the sensor from the respective pixelated gradient thickness filters. The technological competence of the proposed filter will enable its use in handheld devices to widen its application range in day-to-day life.

We propose a pixelized gradient thickness color filter as the compact and space-saving element for achieving simultaneous imaging and spectroscopy using a single image sensor. By replacing the RGB filter integrated in portable devices this can serve the novel purpose on the same platform, and hence makes the device versatile.
