Description

Fast surface spectrum detector

The invention belongs to the optical devices that spectrographic images is surveyed and color image is discerned

Optical information can be divided into spectral information and spatial information, and the former reflects the material composition of measured target; The latter is reflected the shape and the structure of target.If will obtain above-mentioned two kinds of information (being spectrographic images), equipment for the image of surveying high spectral resolution, usually must adopt spacescan and spectral scan to separate the way of carrying out, and spacescan generally is made of a cover mechanical movable part, cause mechanism's complexity, what particularly make us perplexing is that the instantaneous field of view that surveys is little, is linear field to the maximum, thereby is difficult to monitor dynamic object.

Task of the present invention provides a kind of sniffer of the fast surface spectrum that space and spectral scan can be united two into one, and it has instantaneous test surface visual field, high spectral resolution, complete automatically controlled and characteristics fast.

Essence of the present invention is to adopt the space-optical spectrum scrambler of tunable bandpass optical filter as device, by tunable filter, realizes the spectrum of target and the scanning in space.For ease of understanding the formation of invention, be described in detail the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 is the optical principle of contrive equipment;

Fig. 2 is for using the example of acousto-optic tunable filter as the contrive equipment of space-optical spectrum scrambler.

Fig. 3 is when using acousto-optic tunable filter as scrambler, the spectrum change rule of code pattern.

With reference to Fig. 1, target 1 places object lens L ₁On 3 the front focal plane, the light beam that the arbitrary object point A in space sends is through L ₁Convert a branch of direction to and be ()/(k _A) directional light.At L ₁, L ₂Place the logical space-optical spectrum scrambler 4 that filters of a tunable band between 5, its, tunable band logical filter function unique to having to the light beam of the arbitrary definite direction in space

Wherein, λ _C( , f _t) be the passband centre wavelength of bandpass optical filter, λ _CSelf tuning factor f with light filter _tVariation and change and and direction in space

Relevant.

The light beam of direction is after filtration behind the light action, by L ₂Focus on L ₂The A ' of back focal plane locate, the light on the A ' is quasi-monochromatic light λ _AIts spectral bandwidth is by the extreme bandwidth decision of light filter.In like manner, the only quasi-monochromatic light λ that on B ', obtains _B

λ _A＝λ _C（ ，f _t）

λ _B＝λ _C（ ，f _t）

Change the tuning factor f of light filter _t, can be simultaneously to A, the B point carries out spectral scan, concerning whole object plane, exactly each object point is carried out spectral scan simultaneously with different steps.As seen, this light filter has been established between object space object point and the spectrum encoding relation one to one.Obtain each f with planar array detector 7 _tUnder code pattern, the input computing machine is compiled and is separated data and handle, and just can synthesize a series of monochromatic spectrum images of target.At present, the optical device that can be used as scrambler 4 has:

1 acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF)

2 electric light tunable filters (EOTF)

3 tunable F-P interference light filters (TFPF)

4 tunable birefringent filters (TBF)

Fig. 2 is for using the example of acousto-optic tunable filter as encoder apparatus.

Target 1 places on the front focal plane of object lens 3, the light beam that arbitrary object point sends on it is after object lens 3 convert unidirectional light beam to, incident sound optic tunable filter (AOTF) 4, light behind the AOTF coding is focused on the planar array detector 7 by object lens 5, through a signal processing circuit 9, timer 10, quick A/D transducer 11, the digital coding figure that can obtain at some audio frequency f.Pair of orthogonal polaroid (2,6) is to cooperate AOTF to use.On the other hand, computing machine 16 is controlled the output signal f of voltage-controlled radio-frequency power supply 13 by two-way D/A transducer 15, current/voltage transducer 14, thereby the filter function of tuning AOTF, so just can obtain a series of code patterns under different frequency sweep factor f, computing machine is according to the coding rule according to AOTF, and promptly the possibility sign indicating number goes out the multispectral image of target.

The calculating function is decoded to the serial code pattern that detects, just must grasp the coding rule of scrambler, set up the storehouse of decoding then, the foundation in decoding storehouse can be with reference to following method.

If total m of detector is surveyed unit, i.e. m picture dot of multipotency resolution of system.Corresponding therewith, tested target is divided into m zonule by a graded.For ease of handling, ordering should be undertaken by the precedence that the picture dot that the face battle array is surveyed is exported.The spectrum that might as well establish target is made of the monochromatic light of n wavelength, like this, just can express target with MxN rank matrix.

Element P _IjSo the spectral intensity of representing j wavelength of i pixel is objective matrix P _OJ row be exactly the face spectrographic images of j wavelength of target.

Under f the scanning factor, code pattern MxN rank matrix E _fExpression, the encoding operation of scrambler NxM rank matrix T _fExpression then has:

E _f＝P _o·T _f

Promptly $e_{\mathrm{ij}}=\underset{k=1}{\overset{m}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{p}_{\mathrm{ik}}{t}_{\mathrm{kj}}$

Ideally, under certain one scan factor f, each pixel has only the light of a wavelength can pass through scrambler.For certain work spectral region, in initial and terminal scanning place, but only on some regional pixel the optical wavelength of diffraction drop in the work spectral region, and the wavelength of other regional pixel not to be us need, be unnecessary.Fig. 3 is AOTF during as scrambler, effectively resembles the zone with the procedure chart that audio frequency changes, and (a) is target.(b) be code pattern.

Based on top consideration, the encoding operation matrix T _fBe not equal to zero element and should have only n at most.

Definition MxN rank matrix S _fBe the decode operation matrix, it satisfies

S _Ij=t ^-1 _Ji, work as t _Ji≠ 0 o'clock

S _Ij=0, work as t _Ji=0 o'clock

Then $p_o=\underset{f=1}{\overset{q}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{E}_f{\·S}_j$

Promptly $p_{\mathrm{ij}}=\underset{f=1}{\overset{q}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}\underset{k=1}{\overset{m}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}{e}_{\mathrm{ik}}{s}_{\mathrm{kj}}$

Q is the number of the scanning factor, and a succession of item that adds up in the following formula is not equal to zero situation for once.

The decoding storehouse is exactly by above-mentioned decode operation matrix S _fSet up.

The advantage of the fast surface spectrum detector that invention provides:

Owing to adopted new space one optical spectrum encoded technology, developed the function of the three dimensions application of tunable bandpass optical filter, thereby space and spectral scan two processes are united two into one, make instantaneous detection viewing field expand to two-dimensional space.This device has been abandoned movable mechanical part fully, thereby there is not the restriction of mechanical motion in speed of detection.Because it has high spectral resolution,, have more the ability of identification " metamerism " target again if discern color image with it.This device can be applicable to industry, as the color separation, the detection of Temperature Distribution field of printing, printing and dyeing, and robot vision, remote sensing, biomedicine, the field that military and relevant color image is surveyed and discerned.
