Mini-spectrometer MS series C10MA Ultra-compact Mini-spectrometer integrating MEMS and technologies The MS series C10MA is a thumb-sized (2. 13 1. mm) spectrometer head developed for installation into mobile measurement equipment by merging our MEMS and technologies. The MS series uses a CMOS integrated with a light receiving slit. The internal optical system is comprised of a convex lens on which a grating is formed by nanoimprint. The result is a remarkably small size less than one-third the volume of the RC series mini-spectrometers that have already been marketed.

The internal shift register starts operating at this timing. The integration time is determined by the start pulse intervals. However, since the charge integration of each pixel is carried out between the signal readout of that pixel and the next signal readout of the same pixel, the start time of charge integration differs depending on each pixel. In addition, the next start pulse cannot be input until signal readout from all pixels is completed. output is 1/4 of the clock pulse frequency.
