Abstract: A detection system which provides for continuous background estimation removal from a sequence of spectra. A panoramic field of regard may be partitioned into a large number of fields of view (FOVs). An FOV may have a chemical vapor cloud. The small FOV may maximize detection of the cloud. Such detection may require removing the spectral characteristics other than that of the target cloud. This may amount to removal of background spectra with an estimated background developed from one or more FOVs which may or may not be similar to the background of the FOV with the target cloud. A number of estimated background spectra of the other FOVs may be used individually to greatly increase the detection probability of the target chemical.

Abstract translation: 一种提供从光谱序列中去除连续背景估计的检测系统。 全景视域可以划分成大量的视野（FOV）。 FOV可能具有化学气相云。 小FOV可以最大限度地发现云的检测。 这种检测可能需要去除与目标云不同的光谱特征。 这可能相当于从一个或多个FOV开发的估计背景的背景光谱的去除，其可以或可以不类似于具有目标云的FOV的背景。 可以单独使用其他FOV的多个估计背景光谱，以大大增加目标化学物质的检测概率。

Abstract: An optical spectrum analyzer is implemented with a detector combined with a tunable filter mounted on a stage capable of 360-degree rotation at a constant velocity. Because of the constant rate of angular change, different portions of the input spectrum are detected at each increment of time as a function of filter position, which can be easily measured with an encoder for synchronization purposes. The unidirectional motion of the mirror permits operation at very high speeds with great mechanical reliability. The same improvements may be obtained using a diffraction grating or a prism, in which case the detector or an intervening mirror may be rotated instead of the grating or prism.
