Abstract:
The apparatus for scanning at least one hyper-spectral image comprises an optical system, the hyper-spectrometer and the relay module. The hyper-spectrometer is disposed apart from the optical system. The optical system can focus an optical image of a target in a focal plane thereof, where the focal plane contains a plurality of row portions of the optical image. The relay module can selectively relay one of the row portions of the optical image to the hyper-spectrometer. Moreover, a method for scanning at least one hyper-spectral image is disclosed in specification.
Abstract:
An optical filter and a light splitter includes a beam incidence portion, a programmable Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) grating, a beam receiving portion, and a drive and control module. Relative positions of the beam incidence portion, the programmable MEMS grating, and the beam receiving portion are fixed and are configured so that the beam receiving portion is located in an emergence direction of the multi-wavelength beam after the multi-wavelength beam is incident onto the programmable MEMS grating from the beam incidence portion so that the beam receiving portion is capable of receiving a beam with a specific wavelength. The optical filter is capable of freely and conveniently selecting the beams with a specific wavelength, and meanwhile, the optical filter has the advantages of a small size, and being easily controlled and integrated.
Abstract:
The invention relates to measurement of chemical spillage, such as oil spillage, by the use of one or more IR-lasers, necessary optics and optical sensors. The measurements are performed by reflecting the emitted light from the laser(s) back from the chemical and registered by optical sensors. To accurately detecting the chemical the system utilizes at least three different wavelengths which are emitted from one or more lasers. The wavelengths are chosen so that the reflection from the chemical is different for at least three of these, and that it can be distinguished from the background.
Abstract:
Apparatus for registering the spectral signature of a dynamic source event include an imaging-sensor array configured to register electromagnetic energy over a predetermined range of electromagnetic wavelengths and an optical system configured for imaging onto the imaging-sensor array a dispersion pattern of electromagnetic energy emitted from a source event external to the optical system. The optical system includes (i) a focusing element and (ii) a selected set of optical dispersion apparatus. Among the optical dispersion apparatus are at least a first optically dispersive element that disperses a first selected set of wavelengths within the sensitivity range of the imaging-sensor array and at least a second optically dispersive element that disperses a second selected set of wavelengths within the sensitivity range of the imaging-sensor array such that wavelengths emitted from a source event that are within the first and second selected sets of wavelengths impinge simultaneously upon the imaging-sensor array along, respectively, a first extrapolated axis and a second extrapolated axis that is non-parallel to the first extrapolated axis.

Reflectance systems and methods are described that under-fill the collection fiber of a host spectrometer both spatially and angularly. The under-filled collection fiber produces a response of fiber-based spectrometers that is relatively insensitive to sample shape and position.
Abstract:
A micromechanical component includes a micromechanical unidimensional optical lattice structure for diffracting an incident light beam, and a linear drive connected to the lattice structure for compressing and/or stretching the lattice structure in the plane of the lattice structure. The lattice structure is of elastic design with regard to a change of shape resulting from the compressing and/or stretching. The micromechanical component may be incorporated in a device for beam deflection of monochromatic light or in a spectrometer.
