Abstract

A solid-state spectral imaging device is described. The device includes an image sensor and a plurality of optical filters directly processed on top of the image sensor. Each optical filter includes a first mirror and a second mirror defining an optical filter cavity having a fixed height. Each optical filter also includes a first electrode and a second electrode having a fixed position located opposite to each other and positioned to measure the height of the optical filter cavity. Further, a method to calibrate spectral data of light and a computer program for calibrating light is described.
