| contents | Recent years have seen the rapid development of miniaturized reconstructive spectrometers (RSs), yet they still confront a range of technical challenges, such as bandwidth/resolution ratio, sensing speed, and/or power efficiency. Reported RS designs often suffer from insufficient decorrelation between sampling channels, which results in limited compressive sampling efficiency, in essence, due to inadequate engineering of sampling responses. This in turn leads to poor spectral-pixel-to-channel ratios (SPCRs), typically restricted at single digits. So far, there lacks a general guideline for manipulating RS sampling responses for the effectiveness of spectral information acquisition. In this study, we shed light on a fundamental parameter from the compressive sensing theory - the average mutual correlation coefficient v - and provide insight into how it serves as a critical benchmark in RS design with regards to the SPCR and reconstruction accuracy. To this end, we propose a novel RS design with multi-resonant cavities, consisting of a series of partial reflective interfaces. Such multi-cavity configuration offers an expansive parameter space, facilitating the superlative optimization of sampling matrices with minimized v. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, a single-shot, dual-band RS is implemented on a SiN platform, tailored for capturing signature spectral shapes across different wavelength regions, with customized photonic crystal nanobeam mirrors. Experimentally, the device demonstrates an overall operation bandwidth of 270 nm and a <0.5 nm resolution with only 15 sampling channels per band, leading to a record high SPCR of 18.0. Moreover, the proposed multi-cavity design can be readily adapted to various photonic platforms. For instance, we showcase that by employing multi-layer coatings, an ultra-broadband RS can be optimized to exhibit a 700 nm bandwidth with an SPCR of over 100. |
