Patent ID: 8861060

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a spectral decomposition device, comprising: manufacturing a plurality of substrate stacks from structured substrates in which a buried optical path space is defined, wherein the optical path space comprises at least one window; and subsequent substrate stack-individual mounting of a component to the substrate stacks so that the respective component at least partially covers the at least one window, and so that an optical functional element comprising the component is adjacent to the buried optical path space via the at least one window in the substrate stack and helps to define a convolved optical path which forms in the buried optical path space and is defined by optics and an optical functional element comprising a spectrally decomposing effect, which are formed in the respective substrate stack with the mounted component; wherein the manufacturing the plurality of substrate stacks from structured substrates is performed on a wafer level so that the plurality of substrate stacks are processed parallel or substantially parallel to each other; and the subsequent substrate stack-individual mounting includes, for each of the plurality of substrate stacks individually, individually positioning the component so as to cover the at least one window with shifting of the component within a maneuvering distance laterally across the at least one window and fixing the component to the respective substrate stack.
