The invention discloses an
imaging spectrometer based on a
grating translational light modulator, which can apply a
linear array detector. The
imaging spectrometer comprises a receiving optical
system, a dispersing component, an
imaging lens, a
grating translational light modulator array, a convergent mirror and a
detector, wherein
radiation information of a target is imaged on the dispersing component line by line according to different time sequences by using the receiving optical
system, and is imaged on programmable
grating translational light modulator
linear arrays by using the
imaging lens after being subjected to light splitting by the dispersing component; the grating translational light modulator
linear arrays are programmed and driven line by line, so that light of different wavelengths passes through according to the
time sequence and is converged onto the
detector by using the convergent mirror; and through
data synthesis, the spatial dimension information and optical dimension information of the target are obtained. The
spectrometer has the advantages of small size, light weight, low price, high speed and
high resolution, and can be widely applied to the fields of space flight and
aviation remote sensing, industry,
agriculture, biological
medicine, substance analysis and classification, universal and astronomical detection, environment and
disaster monitoring,
atmosphere detection, searching and tracking of military targets, and the like.
