The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples, which are not intended to be limiting, so that those skilled in the art will better understand the invention and practice it.
Referring to fig. 1, in order to make the system compact, the light imaging performance is excellent, the spectrum distortion is low, and the spectrum data fidelity is effectively improved, the invention comprises a field integration element 1 for discrete sampling, an off-axis three-mirror, a dispersion and reflection assembly, an off-axis three-mirror, a folding mirror 8 and a focal plane detector 9, wherein the field integration element 1, the dispersion and reflection assembly, the folding mirror 8 and the focal plane detector 9 are positioned on the same side of the off-axis three-mirror, the off-axis three-mirror is symmetrical about a symmetrical plane 10, and the field integration element 1 and the focal plane detector 9 are positioned on two sides of the symmetrical plane 10; the method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the
The light 3 is incident from the field integration element 1, is reflected to the dispersion and reflection assembly through the off-axis three-mirror, is reflected back to the off-axis three-mirror through the dispersion and reflection assembly, and is reflected again through the off-axis three-mirror, and the light 2 is imaged to the focal plane detector 9 through the folding mirror 8.
Specifically, the dispersion and reflection assembly can adopt a plane mirror 7 and a dispersion element to realize the required dispersion and reflection functions, the dispersion element can be a single prism, a glued prism or a separation prism group, the dispersion element can also be a diffraction grating, and when the dispersion element is a reflection diffraction grating, the dispersion and reflection assembly can replace the plane mirror 7 and take the functions of dispersion and reflection light paths into consideration.
As shown in fig. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, the dispersing and reflecting assembly employs the cemented prism group 6 and the plane mirror 7, and the present invention is explained by taking the cemented prism group 6 and the plane mirror 7 as an example. The plane mirror 7 is located in the off-axis three-mirror pupil plane and the cemented prism group 6 comprises a first prism 6.1 and a second prism 6.2, the second prism 6.2 being located between the first prism 6.1 and the plane mirror 7. The off-axis three-mirror comprises a main mirror 3, a secondary mirror 4 and a three mirror 5, wherein the main mirror 3 and the three mirror 5 are positioned on the same side of the secondary mirror 4, the main mirror 3, the secondary mirror 4 and the three mirror 5 form an off-axis three-mirror structure, and the working principle and specific conditions of the off-axis three-mirror structure are consistent with those of the prior art, and are well known to those skilled in the art, and are not repeated here.
The working principle of the snapshot imaging spectrometer of the invention is as follows: the field integration element 1 is positioned at one side of an off-axis three-mirror symmetry plane 10, the light rays 2 entering from the field integration element 1 are collimated and emitted after passing through the off-axis three-mirror structure, are dispersed by the gluing prism group 6 in an emergent light path and then enter the plane mirror 7, and the plane mirror 7 is positioned at a pupil plane of the off-axis three-mirror structure, namely, the principal rays 2 of different fields of view intersect at one point at the pupil plane. The plane mirror 7 reflects the light 2 back through the dispersive prism, the off-axis three-mirror structure and the fold mirror, and finally images to the focal plane detector 9, the focal plane detector 9 being located on the other side of the plane of symmetry 10.

At this time, the three-dimensional map information of the target is collected and unfolded on the two-dimensional focal plane detector 9, and the three-dimensional data cube can be obtained through spectrum reconstruction.
