Abstract:
A multi-channel array spectrometer combines a spectral measurement system and a reference detector which measures photometric or radiometric qualities. High accuracy photometric or radiometric measurement of a wide dynamic range can be achieved by correcting measurement results of the reference detector with a spectral correction factor. The multi-channel array spectrometer comprises a bandpass filter wheel holding a set of bandpass filters and an open hole. The wheel is placed between an entrance slit and gratings. A test light beam passes through a turret of the bandpass filters. The test light beam can be precisely measured band by band. The spectrometer can also quickly and accurately measure a plurality of test light sources having similar spectral characteristics by using the stray light correction factor.

An optical system performs agile spectrum imaging. The system includes a first lens for focusing light from a light source. The focused light is dispersed over a spectrum of wavelengths. A second lens focuses the dispersed light onto a mask. The mask selectively attenuates the wavelengths of the spectrum of the light source onto an image plane of the light destination. Depending on the arrangement of the light source and destination, the system can act as a 2. The apparatus of claim 1, in which the light source is a scene and the light destination is sensor, and the apparatus operates as an agile spectrum camera, viewer, spectrum projector, or light source. The arrangement can also be combined to provide a stereo vision system.

Abstract:
An apparatus for shared optical performance monitoring (OPM) is provided. A wavelength sensitive device receives light at an input port and routes it wavelength selectively to a set of output ports. To perform optical performance monitoring on the output ports, a monitoring component of each output signal is extracted, and these monitoring components are then combined. A single OPM function is then performed on the combined signal. However, with knowledge of the wavelengths that were included in each output signal, a virtual OPM function can be realized for each output port. The per port functionality can include total power per port, power per wavelength per port, variable optical attentuation, dynamic gain equalization, the latter two examples requiring feedback.
