Abstract：This paper advances a kind of micro-spectrometer based on Fabry-Perot cavity’s character of filtering the waves. The basic structure of the micro-spectrometer is the array of Fabry-Perot cavity which contains many different lengths of cavity on the substrate of silicon, consequently the authors can achieve the detection at several wavelengths simultaneously. The unit of probing is a Fabry-Perot cavity made up of the substrate of silicon-metal film-silicon dioxide layer-metal film. The authors carried out the corresponding simulation. In the basic structure of aluminum film(14 nm)-silicon dioxide layer-silver film(39 nm), the resolution can reach 15 nm. When the area of a unit of probing is 0.14 mm×0.14 mm only, it can reach the luminous flux of miniature grating spectrum instrument(the minimum volume in the order of cm), but the volume of the part of spectrum detection is only of the order of mm. The design size of the micro-spectrometer is a few millimeters. Furthermore it has no movable parts and could detect several wavelengths at the same time. It is possible to fabricate such micro-spectrometer through existing processing methods of IC technology.
