Abstract:
An imaging system includes a light source configured to illuminate a target and a camera configured to image light responsively emitted from the target and reflected from a spatial light modulator (SLM). The imaging system is configured to generate high-resolution, hyperspectral images of the target. The SLM includes a refractive layer that is chromatically dispersive and that has a refractive index that is controllable. The refractive index of the refractive layer can be controlled to vary according to a gradient such that light reflected from the SLM is chromatically dispersed and spectrographic information about the target can be captured using the camera. Such a system could be operated confocally, e.g., by incorporating a micromirror device configured to control a spatial pattern of illumination of the target and to modulate the transmission of light from the target to the camera via the SLM according to a corresponding spatial pattern.

A void-arranged structure that includes a pair of principal surfaces opposing each other and a plurality of void sections that penetrate through the pair of principal surfaces. The void-arranged structure is configured of a plurality of unit structures each of which includes a first void section and a second void section having a different shape from a shape of the first void section, and the overall shape of the unit structure, when the principal surface is viewed from above, is not mirror-symmetric with respect to a predetermined imaginary plane orthogonal to the principal surface of the void-arranged structure.

Abstract:
An imaging spectral device for use in the spectrum image analysis for performing the spectroscopic analysis of the respective points in two dimensional field is disclosed. The device comprises an imaging spectral device composing a white-light source to illuminate an object to be measured, a tunable filter located in the optical path between the object and the white-light source, a driving mechanism for wavelength scanning of the tunable filter, and a control unit in which scanning rate of transmitting wavelength of the tunable filter is controlled by the above-mentioned driving mechanism in such a manner that the spectral transmittance of the tunable filter integrated within the exposure time becomes desired spectral distribution of the object to be measured.
