Abstract: Spectrum sensors can be continuously calibrated in a manufacturing environment employing a continuously moving platform that carries the spectrum sensors in combination with spatially separated light spectra illuminating a region of the platform. A plurality of spectrum sensors, each including multiple sensor pixels, can be placed on the platform. The spatially separated light spectra can be illuminated over an area of the platform. The plurality of spectrum sensors can be moved with the platform through a region of the spatially separated light spectrum. Each sensor pixel for each of the plurality of spectrum sensors can be calibrated based on response of each spectral channel during passage through the spatially separated light spectra. The entire spectra from a light source can be employed simultaneously to calibrate multiple spectrum sensors in the manufacturing environment.

Abstract: Hybrid dual layer filter can be employed can be employed as filters. A multispectral imager comprises a two layer filter array monolithically integrated onto detector array, a top layer of pigment based filter and a lower layer of plasmonic nano-optic filter to make a low cost and narrow bandwidth filter without side leaking or side peaks. Multispectral imager comprises a microlens array, a mosaic patterned optical filter array underlying the microlens array and including a two-dimensional repetition of a unit mosaic pattern, and a pixelated detector array underlying the mosaic patterned optical filter array. The unit mosaic pattern comprises an array of composite filter elements having different peaks in a respective transmittance spectrum. Each composite filter element comprises a pigment based filter portion and a plasmonic nano-optic filter portion.
