Abstract: A hyperspectral imaging device (100) is provided comprising an input (102) for receiving a light field from a scene (106), an encoder (108), at least one dispersive element (110, 112), at least one array detector (114, 110) and a processor (118). The encoder (108) is arranged to receive at least a portion of the light field from the input (102) and transform it to provide a first and second encoded light (120, 122) field having different spatial patterns. At least one dispersive element (110, 112) is arranged to apply spectral shear to the first and second encoded light fields (120, 122) respectively to provide first and second sheared light fields (124, 126). At least one array detector (114, 116) is arranged to detect the first and second sheared light fields (124, 126). The processor (118) is arranged to process an output from the at least one array detector (114, 116) to determine a datacube (128) corresponding to a hyperspectral image of the scene.

Abstract: A spectrometer for detecting an electromagnetic (EM) wave spectrum having one or more wavelength components within a spectral band of interest, and a method of detecting an electromagnetic (EM) wave spectrum having one or more wavelength components within a spectral band of interest. The method uses an entrance aperture; a dispersion and imaging optics containing at least one dispersion element; an exit aperture; a collection optics; and at least one single-pixel detector, each single-pixel detector sensitive to one or more of the wavelength components; and the method comprises the steps of spatially encoding at least one entrance slit of the entrance aperture along a direction substantially transverse to a direction of dispersion of the dispersion and imaging optics; creating, using the dispersion and imaging optics, dispersed images of the entrance aperture on a plane of the exit aperture, such that respective images at the different wavelength components are offset by different amounts of displacements along the direction of dispersion; spatially encoding a plurality of exit slits of the exit aperture along the direction substantially transverse to the direction of dispersion, wherein the exit aperture comprises a plurality of exit slits arranged in the direction of dispersion; gathering, using the collection optics, a total EM wave energy that enters the entrance aperture and exits the exit aperture to one of the at least one single-pixel detectors; changing at least one of an encoding pattern of the at least one entrance slits and an encoding pattern of the plurality of exit slits for a number of times; and measuring the output of the at least one detector for respective ones of the number of times for reconstructing the EM wave spectrum.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining one or more properties of a sample are disclosed. The systems and methods disclosed can be capable of measuring along multiple locations and can reimage and resolve multiple optical paths within the sample. The system can be configured with one-layer or two-layers of optics suitable for a compact system. The optics can be simplified to reduce the number and complexity of the coated optical surfaces, et al. on effects, manufacturing tolerance stack-up problems, and interference-based spectroscopic errors. The size, number, and placement of the optics can enable multiple simultaneous or non-simultaneous measurements at various locations across and within the sample. Moreover, the systems can be configured with an optical spacer window located between the sample and the optics, and methods to account for changes in optical paths due to inclusion of the optical spacer window are disclosed.

Abstract: A spectrometer comprises a plurality of isolated optical channels comprising a plurality of isolated optical paths. The isolated optical paths decrease cross-talk among the optical paths and allow the spectrometer to have a decreased length with increased resolution. In many embodiments, the isolated optical paths comprise isolated parallel optical paths that allow the length of the device to be decreased substantially. In many embodiments, each isolated optical path extends from a filter of a filter array, through a lens of a lens array, through a channel of a support array, to a region of a sensor array. Each region of the sensor array comprises a plurality of sensor elements in which a location of the sensor element corresponds to the wavelength of light received based on an angle of light received at the location, the focal length of the lens and the central wavelength of the filter.
