Zusammenfassung:A microelectrical mechanical system (MEMS) implementation of tunable Fabry Perot filter devices is disclosed. The advantages associated with the use of these tunable etalons include increases in aperture size, displacement, reliability, and a reduction in cost. In some examples, integrated tunable detectors in miniature spectrometers using a thermal driven MEMS Fabry-Perot tunable filter are provided. Other examples use integrated thermal driven tunable MEMS Fabry-Perot filter to select fiber optical communication channel.
