Description

Imaging spectrometer based on raster translation optical modulator
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of imaging spectrometer, in particular, the present invention relates to a kind of imaging spectrometer of the raster translation optical modulator face battle array of making based on MOEMS.
Background technology
Imaging spectral technology is exactly one type of novel multi-vitamin technology for information acquisition that imaging technique and spectral technique are combined, and it can access the spatial information and the spectral information of detected target.The two-dimensional space of the main detection of a target of normally used imaging spectrometer and one dimension spectral information form data cube.Seek out three-dimensional data, must adopt scanning technique or hyperchannel Detection Techniques.By wearing the classification of rail imaging mode, the sweep type imaging spectrometer can be divided into optical mechaical scanning imaging and pull-broom type imaging again.The optical mechaical scanning imaging makes the target emanation energy of each instantaneous field of view's correspondence on the scan line get into detector through optical system in proper order through the mechanical motion of scanning mirror.The pull-broom type imaging is to staring imaging of every scan line.For high light spectrum image-forming, the former detector adopts line array device, and the latter adopts face battle array device.Because the influence of face battle array focal plane device processing technology and cost, the development and application of pull-broom type high light spectrum image-forming is restricted.
Can the spectrum dimension of the information that received with a kind of device opposite battle array device be compressed, and makes and in the pull-broom type imaging spectrometer, can improve signal quality with low cost, many pixels, high-resolution linear array detector, becomes the research focus.Method commonly used is to use spatial light modulator.Roughly can be divided into following several types: traditional mechanical moves and rotary-type modulator; LCD space light modulator; MOEMS (MOEMS) photomodulator.
The advantage that traditional mechanical moves with rotary type modulator is that near the desirable state of opening and closing, and the level of parasitic light is lower.But it need do step continuous motion, causes moving component to be easy to generate mechanical fatigue, alignment error and instability, and speed is relatively low.The harmful effect that LCD space light modulator has avoided mechanical movable member to produce, but its switch switch speed is still slower, can not accomplish standard-sized sheet and complete shut-down to the modulation of light, and also the absorption spectrum of liquid crystal has limited its application at visible light and near infrared bands of a spectrum.The photomodulator that uses emerging MOEMS MOEMS technology to make has that volume is little, programming flexibly, sweep velocity is fast, be convenient to outstanding advantages such as integrated.It has overcome the vibration of traditional mechanical formula modulator and the shortcoming that error is introduced easily in wearing and tearing, and modulating speed, bandwidth and the efficient of light obviously is superior to LCD space light modulator again, is hot research in recent years.The DMD that produces like Texas Instruments is exactly typical case's representative.But the gap between the micro mirror of DMD makes this masterplate on the optical modulation effect, produce the interference of diffraction parasitic light, can not reach the desired light modulation effect.
Can compress the spectrum dimension of the information that planar array detector spare received in traditional pull-broom type imaging spectrometer; Make and to improve signal quality with low cost, many pixels, high-resolution linear array detector spare; And promptly there is not traditional mechanical formula imaging spectrometer because the error that vibration and wearing and tearing are introduced; On modulating speed, bandwidth, efficient, surpass the liquid crystal type imaging spectrometer again; And the optical interference that the micro mirror gap that can avoid the reflective MOEMS spectrometer of this tilting mirror of DMD causes, this becomes us and invents the original intention based on the imaging spectrometer of raster translation optical modulator.

The receiving optics of this imaging spectrometer receives the radiation information of the target that obtains with the mode of operation of pushing broom through refraction or reflected version, and is collimated on the dispersion element line by line.The preferred newtonian of receiving optics, Cassegrain's formula or Ritchie-Ke Laiqinshi reflecting telescope mode constitutes, to avoid the influence of chromatic aberation.
Dispersion element of the present invention is reflective gratings, transmission-type grating or prism.Imaging mirror of the present invention and convergent mirror are reflective or the transmission-type mirror.
The raster translation optical modulator that the present invention uses is MOEMS raster translation optical modulator GMLM (the Grating Moving Light Modulator of applicant's early-stage Study; Patent No. ZL200510020186.8); With its core devices, adopt diffraction principle that incident light is carried out phase modulation (PM) as spectral modulation.Because it is the microdevice that adopts the MOEMS technology to make; The unique texture and the diffraction principle of grating design in addition; When a plurality of grating light modulators unit constitutes linear array; Both do not had traditional mechanical formula photomodulator because the error that vibration and wearing and tearing are introduced surpasses the liquid crystal type imaging spectrometer again on modulating speed, bandwidth, efficient, and on the optical grating diffraction direction, do not had DMD such because the optical interference that cell gap causes.When the different spectrum of raster translation optical modulator linear array timesharing gated optical bands of a spectrum, as long as each unit pixel in its array is carried out independently driven.This scheme can realize the spectrum dimension information of object is compressed, and corresponding detector is a linear array detector.So just reduce the cost of the detector array of traditional pull-broom type imaging spectrometer, when guaranteeing big signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio), can further use the linear array detector of many pixel high-resolutions to improve the imaging spectrometer signal quality again.
Advantage of the present invention is:
1, spectrometer adopts novel MOEMS raster translation optical modulator linear array; Overcome traditional mechanical formula photomodulator because the shortcoming of the error that vibration and wearing and tearing are introduced; On modulating speed, bandwidth, efficient, surpass the liquid crystal type imaging spectrometer, and on the optical grating diffraction direction, do not have DMD such because the optical interference that cell gap causes.
2, the employing of new device makes the spectrometer overall volume little, in light weight.
3, novel imaging spectral is owing to adopt MOEMS raster translation optical modulator linear array; Reduced the dimension of detector; Make and adopt cost spectral resolution and signal quality lower, that the better linear array detector of performance further improves imaging spectrometer to become possibility, overcome pull-broom type optical spectrum imagers focal plane device cost height and the shortcoming that can't do big face battle array.
4, adopt MOEMS raster translation optical modulator GMLM (Grating Moving Light Modulator; Patent No. ZL200510020186.8) as the core devices of spectral modulation; It is simple that it has processing, and response speed is fast, the advantage that cost is low, optical modulation efficient is high; The linear array that its a plurality of unit of usefulness are formed is as the compression device of spectrum dimension information, the problem that can avoid above-mentioned photomodulator to bring preferably.
