Dispersive transform spectral imagers with both one- and two-dimensional spatial coverage have been demonstrated and characterized for applications in remote sensing, target classification and process monitoring. Programmable spatial light modulators make it possible to adjust spectral, temporal and spatial resolution in real time, as well as implement detection algorithms directly in the digitally controlled sensor hardware. Operating parameters can be optimized in real time, in order to capture changing background and target evolution. Preliminary results are presented for short wave, mid-wave, and long-wave infrared sensors that demonstrate the spatial and spectral versatility and rapid adaptability of this new sensor technology. |
