Abstract:
A spectral imaging system includes an autocorrelator to generate different autocorrelations when the moving reflector in the autocorrelator is at different positions so as to reconstruct spectral images. The system also includes a position measurement system to measure the actual positions of the moving reflector when autocorrelations are taken. These actual locations, instead of the desired locations in conventional methods, are then used to reconstruct the spectral image. This approach can address the misalignment of the moving reflector from its desired location (due to external disturbances, slow actuator dynamics, and other factors) in conventional spectral imaging techniques and allow the development of high-resolution, high-stability, portable imaging spectrometers for the general public.

Claim (Index 1):
A spectral imaging system comprising:\n a beam splitter to receive an input light beam reflected or scattered from a sample and to split the input light beam into a first portion and a second portion; a first reflector, in optical communication with the beam splitter, to reflect the first portion of the input light beam; a second reflector, in optical communication with the beam splitter, to reflect the second portion of the input light beam; an actuator, operably coupled to the second reflector, to move the second reflector along a propagation direction of the second portion of the input light beam; a position measurement system, operably coupled to the second reflector, to measure a position of the second reflector; a detector, disposed at an intersection between the first portion of the input light beam and the second portion of the input light beam, to detect an interference pattern created by the first portion of the input light beam and the second portion of the input light beam; and a processor, operably coupled to the position measurement system and the detector, to generate a spectral image of the sample based at least in part on the position acquired by the position measurement system and the interference pattern acquired by the detector.
