Abstract
A spectrometry device includes a wavelength-tunable interference filter that is provided with a stationary reflection film, a movable reflection film and an electrostatic actuator which changes a gap dimension between the stationary reflection film and the movable reflection film; a detector that receives incident light; a filter control unit that sets the gap dimension between the stationary reflection film and the movable reflection film to be a first dimension corresponding to light having a first wavelength which is smaller than that of a measurement target wavelength region; a cutoff filter that cuts off the light having a wavelength which is smaller than that of the measurement target wavelength region; and a light quantity acquisition unit that acquires the light quantity of stray light received by the detector when the gap dimension is changed to be the first dimension.
