Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for determining characteristics of a sample. The system and method provide for detecting a monitor beam reflected off a mirror, where the monitor beam corresponds to the intensity of light incident upon the sample. The system and method also provide for detecting a measurement beam, where the measurement beam has been reflected off the sample being characterized. Both the monitor beam and the measurement beam are transmitted through the same transmission path, and detected by the same detector. Thus, potential sources of variations between the monitor beam and the measurement beam which are not due to the characteristics of the sample are minimized. Reflectivity information for the sample can be determined by comparing data corresponding to the measurement beam relative to data corresponding the monitor beam.

Abstract: A field multiplexed dispersive imaging spectrometer (20). The novel system includes foreoptics (22) for receiving incoming electromagnetic energy, a disperser (24) disposed to receive energy from the foreoptics (22), and a focal plane array (28) disposed to receive energy from the disperser (24). The disperser (24) is a computer generated holographic disperser designed to disperse light into several, overlapping diffraction orders. In the preferred embodiment, the disperser (24) is designed with greater energy in the central, undiffracted order than in the other diffracted orders. The system (20) also includes a processor (30) which takes the data detected by the focal plane array (28) and generates a representation of the input image in several color bands using an iterative restoration algorithm (32).

Abstract: The hyperspectral imager includes a diffraction grating, a collecting reflecting element and a reimaging system. The diffraction grating has an entrance slit formed at an entrance slit location therein. The entrance slit has a long dimension oriented in a y-direction. The entrance slit transmits the radiation from a slice of an incoming scene image. The collecting reflecting element receives the transmitted radiation of the incoming scene image and reflects the transmitted radiation to a diffractive surface of the diffraction grating. Grooves on the diffractive surface are substantially parallel to the y-direction. The reimaging system receives radiation diffracted by the diffractive surface. The reimaging system produces a spectral image of the entrance slit at a focal surface. The spectral image provides a spectrum of radiation propagating through the entrance slit into the hyperspectral imager such that the spectrum of radiation from a first region in the y-direction can be distinguished from the spectra of radiation from other regions in the y-direction.

Abstract: Spectroscopy apparatus for spectrochemical analysis of a sample having an excitation source (60) for providing spectral light (62) of the sample for analysis. The spectral light (62) is analysed via an optical system (66-66-68) that includes a polychromator (70, 74-80) and solid state multielement array detector (82). The elements (i.e. pixels) of the detector (82) are serially read by means (84) to provide light intensity measurements as a function of wavelength. A problem is that the elements (pixels) of the detector (82) continue to accumulate charge during the serial read-out. This is avoided by providing an optical shutter (72) for blocking the spectral light (62) whilst elements (pixels) of the detector (82) are being serially read. Shutter (72) has a piezoelectric actuator which is preferably a bimorph mounted as a cantilever. It is preferably located adjacent to the entrance aperture (70) of the polychromator. Bimorph structures for the actuator and drive and protective circuit arrangements are also disclosed.
