Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel method of integrating a microlens array with a multi-channel filter based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System (MEMS) technique. The structure has several optical units and every unit can capture the information for a certain band. Therefore, it can be considered as a filtering artificial-compound-eye (ACE). By combining with a CMOS photo-detector, a multi-spectral imaging system was setup. The imaging experimental results prove that the structure can realize color separation and multi-units imaging as expected. Because of its compact structure and good optical property, the novel filtering ACE is suitable to be applied in smart multi-spectral imaging system.
