Abstract
The present application discloses an optical sensing module, an optical mechanism of a spectrometer, and a spectrometer. An optical sensing module according to one embodiment comprises an optical sensing component and an optical fiber. The optical sensing component includes at least a row of optical sensing units. The optical fiber is made of a transparent material and has a cylindrical curved surface. A side of the cylindrical curved surface faces the optical sensing units to converge at least a portion of an incident light received by the optical sensing units. With techniques of the present application, the amount of light collected at the optical sensing component can be increased for it to be suitable for applications such as miniaturized apparatuses and systems, thus improving the overall efficiency of optical reception and utilization therein.
