Abstract
The present invention relates to a spectral detection device () for detecting spectral components of received light, wherein the spectral detection device () comprises a filtering structure () arranged to filter the received light and output light with a wavelength within a predetermined wavelength range; and a light sensor () arranged to detect the light output by the filtering structure (), wherein the filtering structure () is variable to allow a variation of the predetermined wavelength range over time. The arrangement enables a compact spectral detection device that may be provided at a low cost.
