US Patent:

7880890, Feb 1, 2011

Filed:

Dec 28, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/966586

Inventors:

David Reyes - Boston MA, US
E. Robert Schildkraut - Waltham MA, US
Jinhong Kim - Brookline MA, US

Assignee:

Block Engineering, LLC - Marlborough MA

International Classification:

G01B 9/02

US Classification:

356450, 356452

Abstract:

An interferometer system includes an optical bench and at least two mirror structures, being patterned from one or more layers on the optical bench and erected to extend substantially perpendicularly to the bench to define two interferometer arms to provide a Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) interferometer. The MEMS interferometer is further implemented in a Fourier transform spectrometer, which includes a common housing containing the interferometer and a gas cell, possibly including a preconcentrator.
