Spatial-spectral modulating snapshot hyperspectral imager.

Experimental results are presented for a computed tomography imaging spectrometer (CTIS) with imposed spatial-spectral modulation on the image scene. This modulation structure on the CTIS tomographic dispersion created substantial gains in spectral reconstruction resolution after standard iterative, nonlinear, inversion techniques were used. Modulation limits system ambiguities, so high-frequency spectral and low-frequency spatial scene data could be recovered. The results demonstrate how spatial modulation acts as a high-frequency spectral deconvolver for the snapshot hyperspectral imager technology.

All-reflective snapshot hyperspectral imager for ultraviolet and infrared applications.

Snapshot hyperspectral imaging simultaneously acquires spatial and spectral information about a scene. We report on the first, to our knowledge, all-reflective snapshot hyperspectral imager in the form of a computed tomography imaging spectrometer (CTIS). The reflective design allows for instrument simplicity for applications in the ultraviolet and infrared. To realize a CTIS in a reflective Offner configuration, a reflective two-dimensional computer-generated hologram grating is fabricated on a convex spherical substrate by direct-write electron-beam lithography. Furthermore, a reconfigurable reflective field stop is implemented with a micromirror array to provide high-contrast spatial-spectral filtering, region-of-interest selection, and spatial structure formation.
