16 May 2006 P&P Optica Imaging Spectrometers allow the collection of spectral information along a long entrance slit of the system, allowing for spectral image creation upon scanning. Imaging spectrometers enable the acquisition of a spectrally resolved image of a two dimensional scene. P&P imaging spectrometers are designed to allow simultaneous collection of data along a length of a thin slit. As the slit scans across a scene, multiple images are taken to stitch together a hyperspectral image. The advantage of such system is that all spectral data for a given point is collected at one time, and that it provides very highly spectrally resolved images (down to 0.3 nm resolution). Furthermore, with the exceptional optical design, P&P Optica's imaging spectrometers also provide excellent spatial resolution determined by the pixel size of the detector used. |
