    Abstract: A two dimensional spatial radiation modulator rotated about a rotation axis to modulate components of an incident radiation beam to encode the beam. The modulator includes sub-regions in a first annular segment being patterned to form a pair of radiation filters having substantially complementary modulation functions. The pair of radiation filters produces a first encoded component with a characteristic determined by the relative intensities of radiation from the beam incident on the pair of filters. The modulator also includes sub-regions in a second annular segment being patterned to form a filter that produces a second encoded component with a characteristic determined by the total intensity of radiation from the beam incident on the filter.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for spectral imaging. Electromagnetic energy emanating from an object is passed through a first dispersive element, a coded aperture, and a second dispersive element to a detector plane. A wavelength-dependent shift is created by the first dispersive element. The coded aperture modulates the image emanating from the first dispersive element. The wavelength-dependent shift is removed from the modulated image by the second dispersive element producing a wavelength-independent image measured by the detector. A spectral image of the object is calculated from the measured image, a wavelength-dependent shift of the first dispersive element, the code of the coded aperture, and a wavelength dependent shift of the second dispersive element. A spectral image can be calculated from measurements obtained in a single time step and from a number of measurements that is less than the number of elements in the spectral image.

    Abstract: Methods and apparati for spatially encoding and decoding spread spectrum communication signals using broad band light sources are disclosed. The encoding algorithms involve the use of orthogonal spatial wavelets, which are preferably discrete attenuation functions of light from different sources so that the discrete attenuation function is imposed upon the spectrum of the light source. The function may be used either merely for providing an encoded channel or by providing a second mask that may be, for example, the complement of the discrete attenuation function so that the light beam is discrete with the first attenuation function.

    Abstract: An apparatus for spectral detection of remote objects. The apparatus consists of an input optic which focuses the field of view onto an image receiving surface consisting of an addressable spatial mask. The mask sequentially projects portions of the scene onto a diffractive optical element which focuses onto a photodetector array. The first image receiving surface of mask is partitioned into independently addressable and controllable subsurfaces, or gates, adapted to receive an electronic control signal from a programmable control signal generator. Each gate in the receiving mask directs a portion of the image incident thereon to a diffractive lens in response to a control signal communicated thereto. This gated image is dispersed by the diffractive lens and focused upon the photosensitive surface of a photodetector array. The photodetector array is partitioned into pixels having a number in ratio to the gates in the addressable mask. The signal output of a pixel within the optical path of the dispersed gated light is sampled and stored in a signal processor. A control signal generator sequentially or randomly addresses each gate in the mask causing the gate to direct that portion of the image thereon to the diffractive lens. The output signal from each pixel on the photodetector array corresponding to the addressed gate in the mask is sampled and stored until the entire image is recorded. This process is repeated as the diffractive optic is scanned through the spectral range of interest. The mask provides enhanced spectral and spatial resolution of the scene.
