Design of a dual-grating spectral imaging system based on DMD encoding
To address the issues of high coding error rates and insufficient aberration correction in traditional coded spectral imaging systems
a dual-grating spectral imaging system based on Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) coding is proposed. This system employs a symmetric optimization method and a doublet compensator to correct residual aberrations induced by the coded DMD. The working principle of the system and DMD-based aberration correction are introduced. A spectral imaging system for the 400-700nm wavelength range is designed
featuring a front-end system with a focal length of 85mm
an entrance pupil diameter of 10mm
and a field of view of 4°. The dual-path 1:1 grating system
combined with the DMD
simultaneously achieves light splitting
coding
and recombination. The design results demonstrate that the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) exceeds 0.25 at the Nyquist frequency of 76.92lp/mm across the full field of view and spectral range
the spot radii in the spot diagram are all smaller than the Airy disk
and the maximum spectral resolution is better than 1.56nm
meeting the imaging requirements. An optical setup was constructed to conduct spectral imaging experiments and spectral modulation-reconstruction experiments
confirming the system’s imaging capability for target scenes and its spectral reconstruction performance
thereby validating the feasibility of the proposed approach.
