Hyperspectral imaging camera system

The development of an innovative hyperspectral imaging camera system and the design and process for its manufacture are presented. These imagers capture high-spatial resolution image data-cubes over wide wavelength bands in seconds. Wavelength ranges depend on the camera model in spectral windows from 250 nm to 2100 nm. Each imager can be programmed to scan subsets of bands. Imaging resolutions range from 4 nm FWHM in the visible to 15 nm in the Extended SWIR. The fundamental working principle and some of the challenges in realizing it as a product, are described and application examples are presented.
