Abstract
A micromonochromator is formed on a substrate and includes a diffraction device (6) associated with an entry that includes at least one entry point and an exit that includes at least one exit point. A mobile arrangement of light guidance (2-20, 4-26) is associated with the entry or the exit or both, and a recovery device (23) is provided by the exit. The mobile arrangement includes at least one mobile beam integrated in the substrate and equipped with at least one light guide. The mobile beam is able to sweep the entry and/or exit in a continuous manner.
