“…The resolution of 5 cm −1 is reached for the whole spectral range with a total length for the Hadamard spectrometer component of about 55 mm (Fig. 6) (Riesenberg et al 2002). For the detection of very weak signals a cooling of the CCD is necessary.…”

“…The ability to miniaturize instruments presents several advantages in the arena of microtechnology for space systems in terms of reduction in size, mass, power, and cost. [9][10][11][12][13] Future directions in space instrumentation will be enabled by the use of MEMS fabrication techniques. The path is clear tht began with the Flat Plasma Spectrometer (FlaPS) [14] and carried to the more aggressive miniaturization demonstration in the Wafer Integrated Spectrometer [15] and now to the CANARY.…”

The Canary instrument is a miniature electrostatic analyzer designed to detect positively charged ions in the energy range 0-1500 eV. The Canary concept began with the development of a Micro-Electro-Mechanical (MEMS) Flat Plasma Spectrometer (FlaPS), which, integrated with electronics onto FalconSAT-3, reduced the size and mass of an ion plasma spectrometer to about 10x10x10 cm 3 and 250 g. The successor to FlaPS was the Wafer Integrated Spectrometer (WISPERS), expanding the same instrument to seven sensors all with uniquely optimized energy ranges and azimuth/elevation look angles. WISPERS is due to fly on the USAF Academy's FalconSAT-5 satellite scheduled for launch in Spring 2010. FlaPS and WISPERS created a paradigm shift in the use of such instruments in a highly capable but small, low power package. The third generation, Canary (named after the "canary in the coal mine" -an earlier technology used to provide low-cost, effective warning of danger to operators), will be flown on the International Space Station (ISS) and used to investigate the interaction of approaching spacecraft with the background plasma environment around the ISS.

“…(142,148) The Hadamard transform can also be used to increase the spectral resolution of a grating-linear array spectrometer. (149) The benefit of the Hadamard transform spectrometer embodiments is that only one detector pixel is needed for obtaining a spectrum, but the complexity of the system is then moved from the detector array to the SLM component.…”

The trend in near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is to go toward on‐site, in‐field, on‐the‐go applications with calibration‐free instruments and off‐the‐shelf chemometrics software. Micro‐electro‐mechanical systems (MEMS) and micro‐opto‐electro‐mechanical systems (MOEMS) represent manufacturing techniques and components, capable of enabling highly miniaturized, robust, and low‐cost sensors and actuators. This article presents common MEMS and MOEMS manufacturing techniques and gives an insight into the demands of NIR spectroscopic applications. The main instrument categories are covered by a short theory followed by examples. Most thoroughly handled topics are Fourier transform spectrometers (FTSs), Fabry–Perot interferometers (FPIs), and dispersive spectrometers. Two other categories are also separately presented, namely light modulator systems and tunable MEMS light sources. We give an overview on NIR spectroscopy and its special requirements regarding the realization of MEMS spectrometers.
