HYPER-SPECTRAL IMAGING WHEN OBSERVED OBJECT IS STILL

A hyperspectral imaging systems includes an imaging sensor, a multispectral filter, and an actuator. The actuator moves the multispectral filter with respect to the imaging sensor to capture a scene with full spectral data. The spectral data of the scene can be stored in a hyperspectral data cube, which can be compressed, processed, stored, and/or sent to a remote location. Each acquired image includes a spatial map of the scene which facilitates pointing, focusing, and data analysis. The spectral measurement parameters can be configured dynamically in order to optimize performance such as spectral resolution, storage capacity, and transmission bandwidth. The system achieves high spectral and spatial resolution, is simple, compact, and lightweight, thereby providing an efficient hyperspectral imaging system.

A light source comprising an excitation light source for providing excitation light, and an optical wavelength conversion member disposed at a distance from the excitation light source. The optical wavelength conversion member comprises an optical wavelength conversion material for converting the excitation light into stimulated light. The light source also comprises an optical-guiding member that allows the excitation light to be incident on the optical wavelength conversion material, and an optical-collecting member for collecting converted light originating from the optical wavelength conversion material. To separate the paths of the converted light and the excitation light, the etendue of the optical-guiding member is less than or equal to of the etendue of the optical-collecting member. This allows the optical-guiding member to draw in the excitation light while preventing the excessive escape of the converted light through the optical-guiding member.
