Paper Abstract
Near Infrared (NIR) spectrometers are widely used in many fields to measure material content, such as moisture, fat and
protein in grains, foodstuffs and pharmaceutical powders. These fields include applications where only highly
miniaturized and robust NIR sensors can be used due to small usable space, weight requirements and/or hostile working
environment. Handheld devices for material inspection, online process automation and automotive industry introduce
requirements for size, robustness and cost, which is currently difficult to meet. In this paper we present an advanced
spectral sensor based on a tunable Microelectromechanical (MEMS) Fabry-Perot Interferometer. The sensor is fibercoupled,
weighs 125 grams and fits to an envelope of 25x55x55 mm3. Three types of sensors cover the wavelength
ranges from 1.35-1.7 μm, 1.55-2.0 μm and 1.7-2.2 μm, utilizing only a single pixel extended InGaAs detector, avoiding
the expensive linear array detectors. We describe the design, principle of operation and calibration methods together with
the control schemes. Some environmental tests are described and their results and finally application measurement
results are presented along with discussion and conclusions.
