Double-slit convex grating imaging spectrometer

Abstract

The invention discloses a satellite borne or airborne double-slit convex grating imaging spectrometer for observation over the ground, which is composed of a reflection lens, a convex spherical reflection grating and a concave spherical reflector. The invention is characterized in that spectral surfaces respectively corresponding to slits are formed on different positions of an image space by setting two slits in an object space, a plurality of detector modules can be arranged alternately on the spectral surface so as to expand the field of view, and the image quality and the spectral bending can be improved by carrying out spatial position adjustment on a plurality of detectors; and a double-slit spectral imaging can also be formed on the same detector so as to reduce half of the requirement for reading frame frequencies by the detector, thereby solving the problem that the instruments in aerospace vehicles flying at high speed are extra-high in frame frequency. The invention is mainly applied to satellite borne or airborne spectral imaging systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to optical components and systems, in particular to a double-slit convex grating imaging spectrometer used in an airborne or space-borne hyperspectral imager for ground observation. Background technique [0002] The current common convex imaging spectrometer generally adopts the OFFNER structure, and a single slit is placed in the object space. For example, in the patent CN1391090A, in the catadioptric concave grating imaging optical system proposed by Shen Beijun et al., a single slit is placed in the object space, the field of view in the meridian direction belongs to the line field of view, and the focal plane device is placed in the image side to receive the light from the slit Imaging in spatial and spectral dimensions. In the patent US2003 / 0067600A1, Brian Curtiss et al. proposed a single spectrometer multi-input method and system. The spectrometer is a concave grating for measuring light intensity, and multi-input is reali...
