Title: Multi-conjugate liquid crystal tunable filter
Inventor: WANG CHENHUI
IPC: G02F1/01
Filed: 2006-01-26
Abstract: A hyper-spectral imaging filter has serial stages (33, 35) along an optical signal path, each stage having angularly arranged retarder elements (45, 47) and one or more polarizers (42, 44). The retarders can include tunable (such as abutted liquid crystals tuned in unison), fixed and/or combined tunable and fixed birefringences, and can be arranged in Sole, Lyot, Evans or similar configurations. Each stage has a periodic transmission characteristic with periodic bandpass peaks (52) spaced by free spectral range bandpass gaps.  Distinctly different retardations are employed in cascaded stages, causing some stages to pass narrow bandpass peaks and other stages to have widely spaced bandpass peaks (large free spectral range). The transmission functions of the serial stages are superimposed, providing a high finesse ratio and good out-of- band rejection. Preferably at least some stages have tunable liquid crystals for at least part of their retardation, and are controlled to selectively align respective bandpass eaks.
