Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of integrated picture and light splitting technology in the spectrum imaging system of one, particularly a kind of spectrum imaging system with direct-view property.
Background technology
Imaging spectrometer combines optical imagery and these two kinds of time-honored technology of spectrum beam split, makes it to obtain simultaneously the spatial image and the abundant spectral information of object, has the advantage of collection of illustrative plates unification.Eighties of last century was subjected to various countries scientific research institution always and has paid attention to greatly since the eighties, carried out having had in the observations such as land, atmosphere, ocean on the Aeronautics and Astronautics device widely and used.
Light splitting technology mainly contains methods such as optical filter, prism, binary optical elements, interference beam split, and wherein prism or grating beam splitting are a kind of beam split modes of traditional, comparative maturity.In traditional prism or grating spectrum instrument, often have an angle of deviation problem, promptly incident beam and outgoing beam be not on same axis, the system that constitutes like this belongs to typically from axle system, exist volume big, debug defectives such as difficulty, poor stability.Adopt different prism combinations can make the light-splitting device of direct-view, such as Amici Prism, light beam directly advances directly, but the direct viewing type light-splitting device chromatic dispersion of making up with prism merely is non-even row, has limited the spectral resolution of some wave band.([J] uses laser in a literary composition of " holographic prism grating and pen type spectroscope ", 1998,18 (2): 67-69), the beam splitter of a kind of prism grating (Grism) is disclosed, though this The Application of Technology has reduced volume, but, limited the raising of capacity usage ratio because it has adopted blazed grating.
Valtion Teknillinen (VTT) lab design in 1992 spectrum groupware of prism-grating-prism (PGP) combination, can reach the advantage of direct-view property, and use body holographic phase grating, improved diffraction efficiency.Before the present invention makes, Mauri Aikio. " Hyperspectral prism-grating-prism imaging spectrograph " (VTTPublications, 2001,435:15-114) in the literary composition, disclose a kind of imaging spectrum system, it has adopted the PGP technology.In the imaging spectrum system that it provides, two prism vertex angle differences of PGP element, the diaphragm of system is placed near the grating, collimator objective and image-forming objective lens are three glass structures, therefore, total system is still compact inadequately, and length and volume are bigger, desired pixel size is 23 microns * 23 microns, and the spectrometer image quality has been subjected to certain restriction.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the deficiency that prior art exists, a kind of spectral resolution height is provided, image quality is better, compact conformation, and volume is littler, and easily the direct-view spectrum imaging system that reduces production costs is debug in processing.
For achieving the above object, the technical scheme of confession of the present invention is: a kind of prism-grating-prism imaging system is provided, it comprises beam splitter, collimator objective and the image-forming objective lens of prism-grating-prism (PGP) combination, described collimator objective is the four-piece type lens structure, wherein, from entrance slit second eyeglass backward is negative power, and its excess-three piece eyeglass is positive light coke; Described PGP beam splitter, its body holographic phase grating satisfies Bragg condition, and two prisms on a grating left side and the right distribute axisymmetricly; Described image-forming objective lens is identical with collimator objective, and the eyeglass of collimator objective and image-forming objective lens distributes axisymmetricly about the PGP beam splitter; System is 5.0~5.5 inclinations of spending as plane and optical axis, and the diaphragm of system is placed on the grating, satisfies thing, telecentric beam path in image space.
The holographic phase grating constant of described body is that every millimeter 500~600 line is right.
