Integrated spectroscopy systems are disclosed. In some examples,
integrated tunable detectors, using one or multiple Fabry-Perot tunable
filters, are provided. Other examples use integrated tunable sources. The
tunable source combines one or multiple diodes, such as superluminescent
light emitting diodes (SLED), and a Fabry Perot tunable filter or etalon.
The advantages associated with the use of the tunable etalon are that it
can be small, relatively low power consumption device. For example, newer
microelectrical mechanical system (MEMS) implementations of these devices
make them the size of a chip. This increases their robustness and also
their performance. In some examples, an isolator, amplifier, and/or
reference system is further provided integrated.
