Immersed imaging spectrometer based on aberration-eliminating holographic grating
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of spectral imaging, and particularly relates to an immersion type imaging spectrometer based on an aberration-eliminating holographic grating.
Background
The hyperspectral imaging technology can acquire image information and high-resolution spectral information of a target scene, and substance identification and component analysis can be performed through acquired spectral data, so that the hyperspectral imaging technology has wide application requirements in the fields of forestry resource investigation, fire early warning, water resource pollution, mineral exploration and the like. The convex holographic grating imaging spectrum system is based on an Offner concentric structure, has good symmetry, good optical performance and simple and compact structure, and meets the application requirements of light and small size.
One of the core parameters of an imaging spectrometer is the entrance slit length, the longer the slit, the larger the field of view of the system. With the increasing demand for wide ground coverage in various application fields, the development of the imaging spectrometer spectroscopic system in the direction of a long slit is required. However, astigmatism is the most dominant geometrical aberration when the entrance slit is long, since the perfect symmetry of the Offner structure is destroyed by the diffractive splitting of the convex holographic grating. In order to realize the balance of astigmatism caused by asymmetry of the system, the technical means mainly adopted is to divide the main mirror into two parts to optimize the curvature radius of the main mirror, increase the off-axis amount of the two reflecting mirrors and increase the inclination of the convex grating so as to eliminate the astigmatism. In addition, the introduction of the meniscus lens or the free-form surface into the Offner structure can also greatly improve the imaging condition of the system, but increases the difficulty and cost of the development of the optical system, makes the processing of the optical element and the adjustment and spectral calibration of the optical system more difficult, and adds additional load to the system.
In the prior art, document "astigmatism elimination design of variable-pitch convex grating imaging spectrum system" (optical precision engineering, 2020, vol.28, No. 10, zhao mei hong) reports an aberration elimination convex grating imaging spectrum system based on a variable-pitch convex grating, wherein the F number of the aberration elimination convex grating imaging spectrum system is 2.7, the slit length is 10mm, the spectral resolution is 3.3nm, the system length is 100mm, the size is large, and the recording optical path of the aberration elimination convex grating is complicated.
