Abstract
A snapshot imaging spectrometer is a powerful tool for dynamic target
tracking and real-time recognition compared with a scanning imaging
spectrometer. However, all the current snapshot spectral imaging
techniques suffer from a major trade-off between the spatial and
spectral resolutions. In this paper, an integral field snapshot
imaging spectrometer (TIF-SIS) with a continuously tunable
spatial-spectral resolution and light throughput is proposed and
demonstrated. The proposed TIF-SIS is formed by a fore optics, a
lenslet array, and a collimated dispersive subsystem. Theoretical
analyses indicate that the spatial-spectral resolution and light
throughput of the system can be continuously tuned through adjusting
the F number of the fore optics, the rotation angle of the lenslet
array, or the focal length of the collimating lens. Analytical
relationships between the spatial and spectral resolutions and the
first-order parameters of the system with different geometric
arrangements of the lenslet unit are obtained. An experimental TIF-SIS
consisting of a self-fabricated lenslet array with a pixelated scale
of 100×100 and a fill factor of 0.716 is built.
The experimental results show that the spectral resolution of the
system can be steadily improved from 4.17 to 0.82 nm with a
data cube (N

) continuously tuned from 35×35×36 to 40×40×183 in the visible wavelength range from
500 to 650 nm, which is consistent with the theoretical
prediction. The proposed method for real-time tuning of the
spatial-spectral resolution and light throughput opens new
possibilities for broader applications, especially for recognition of
things with weak spectral signature and biomedical investigations
where a high light throughput and tunable resolution are needed.
