Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a light detection device including a Fabry-Perot interference filter.
- the photodetector as described above, it is desirable to increase the proportion of light incident on the light transmission region of the Fabry-Perot interference filter out of the light incident on the package.
- the amount of reflected light tends to be small, so that the light incident on the light transmission region of the Fabry-Perot interference filter can be reduced.
- stray light light that does not pass through the light transmission region of the Fabry-Perot interference filter
- the S / N ratio and resolution will be reduced.
- This disclosure is intended to provide a photodetection device capable of highly sensitive and highly accurate detection.
- a light detection device includes a package in which an opening through which light is incident is formed, a light transmission portion that is disposed on an inner surface of the package so as to close the opening, and is disposed in the package, with a distance from each other.

- the light transmission part arranged on the inner surface of the package so as to close the opening is integrally configured including a band-pass filter and a lens part.
- a band-pass filter As a result, light that enters the package from the opening is collected by the lens portion of the light transmitting portion and is incident on the Fabry-Perot interference filter. Therefore, it is possible to increase the proportion of light incident on the light transmission region of the Fabry-Perot interference filter among the light incident on the package. In addition, it is possible to suppress stray light from entering the peripheral region of the light transmission region of the Fabry-Perot interference filter.
- the outer edge of the Fabry-Perot interference filter is located outside the outer edge of the opening when viewed from the incident direction of light
- the outer edge of the light transmission unit is the Fabry-Perot It may be located outside the outer edge of the interference filter.
- the heat capacity of the light transmission part and the thermal connection area between the light transmission part and the package are larger than when the outer edge of the light transmission part is located inside the outer edge of the Fabry-Perot interference filter.
- the temperature in the package can be made uniform. Making the temperature uniform in the package suppresses fluctuations in stress generated in the Fabry-Perot interference filter due to temperature changes, and accurately controls the distance between the first mirror part and the second mirror part. It is important.
- the light transmission unit includes the light transmission member and is formed integrally with the bandpass filter and the lens unit, and the bandpass filter is formed on the light emission surface of the light transmission member.
- the lens portion may be provided on the light incident surface side of the light transmitting member as a part of the light transmitting member. According to this configuration, the thickness of the light transmission member can be increased so that the distance between the bandpass filter and the Fabry-Perot interference filter is reduced. In that case, since the volume of the space in the package is reduced while the heat capacity of the light transmitting member is increased, the temperature in the package can be further uniformized.
- the lens portion can be formed with high positional accuracy with respect to the light transmitting member.
- the light transmission unit includes the light transmission member and is formed integrally with the bandpass filter and the lens unit, and the bandpass filter is formed on the light emission surface of the light transmission member.
- the lens unit may be provided on the light exit surface of the bandpass filter. According to this configuration, since the incident angle of light incident on the bandpass filter is not affected by the lens unit, the bandpass filter can function more appropriately.
- the light transmission unit includes the light transmission member and is formed integrally with the bandpass filter and the lens unit, and the bandpass filter is formed on the light emission surface of the light transmission member.
- the pair of lens portions is provided, and one of the pair of lens portions is formed on the light incident surface side of the light transmission member as a part of the light transmission member, and the pair of lens portions The other of them may be provided on the light exit surface of the bandpass filter.
- the outer edge of the light transmission member may be located outside the outer edge of the Fabry-Perot interference filter when viewed from the light incident direction.
- the heat capacity of the light transmissive member and the thermal connection area between the light transmissive member and the package are compared with the case where the outer edge of the light transmissive member is located inside the outer edge of the Fabry-Perot interference filter. As a result, the temperature inside the package can be made uniform.
- the outer edge of the bandpass filter may be located outside the outer edge of the Fabry-Perot interference filter when viewed from the incident direction of light. According to this configuration, it is guaranteed that the light incident on the light transmission region of the Fabry-Perot interference filter has passed through the bandpass filter.

May not be included. If the second layer structure 40 has a layer structure capable of suppressing warpage of the substrate 21 as compared with the case where the second layer structure 40 is not provided, the second layer structure 40 is It can be said that it is configured to correspond to the first layer structure 30. Further, the Fabry-Perot interference filter 10 may not include the second layer structure 40.
- the adhesive member 15 may not protrude outward from the outer edge of the bandpass filter 14.
