Patent number: 9772225Abstract: A spectroscope device is provided to maintain the uniformity of the central transmitting wavelength in the field of view and to minimize the broaden of the bandwidth of the transmitting wavelengths in an optical lens using an optical tunable filter (variable wavelength filter), even with a wide field of view and/or a large numerical aperture. A space is defined in which, when each beam that is incident from each off-axial object point on the object surface toward the optical lens that includes a plurality of lens elements between an object surface and a conjugate real image surface reaches the optical tunable filter, the chief ray is maintained parallel to the optical axis. Therefore, if an optical tunable filter is disposed in this space, each beam is always incident normal to the filter, so only the narrow band components at the specific central wavelength can be transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: GENESIA CORPORATIONInventors: Norihide Takeyama, Yoshikazu Kanai, Daisuke Fukuoka
