Abstract:
The present invention discloses a co-aperture multi-field of view (FOV) image-spectrum cooperative detection system, and the system includes an infrared optical window, a large FOV two-dimensional scanning mirror, a co-aperture multi-FOV main optical system, a large FOV scanning detector, a staring infrared detector, an infrared non-imaging broadband spectrum measuring unit, a data processing unit, a control unit, and a servo system. Correspondingly, the present invention further provides a method based on the system. The present invention searches a target area by using large FOV scanning, and identifies a target by using medium FOV staring infrared detection, and small FOV fine detection is finally performed on the area to identify the target in combination with spectrum data analysis. The detection sensitivity is higher, and capturing and tracking of a moving target are more precise and stable, thereby solving the technical problems that a conventional remote sensing detection cannot perform research on movement changes of a moving target and a dynamic phenomenon and searching and tracking of a small-scale object is unsuccessful; therefore, the present invention has higher implementability and practical promotion values.
Abstract:
Aspects of a monochromator are described herein. In one embodiment, the monochromator includes a light source that provides light, a diffraction grating including a first diffraction grating and a second diffraction grating, a grating drive motor that rotates the diffraction grating to provide dispersed wavelengths of light, a detector that detects a portion of the dispersed wavelengths of light, and processing circuitry that controls a grating drive motor to regulate an angular velocity of the grating based on an angular orientation of the diffraction grating. By using a diffraction grating having multiple, different dispersive surfaces, measurements of relatively high precision and quality may be taken throughout a wider spectral range. In another aspect, the processing circuitry controls a sample drive motor to vary an angle of incidence of the dispersed wavelengths of light onto a sample for evaluation.
