In this paper, we present a doubly-encoded single-pixel Hadamard transform spectrometer that has its spectral resolution decoupled from its throughput. The proof-of-concept is designed in the 1500 nm to 1600 nm near-infrared (NIR) wavelength range and uses a digital micromirror device (DMD) in conjunction with a fixed mask for encoding. The proposed system can easily be extended to other infrared (IR) wavelengths to achieve maximum throughput and multiplexing advantage.
In this paper, we present a single-pixel hyperspectral imager based on Hadamard transformat ion. The imager uses a micromirror array and a resonant scanning mirror to implement spatial and spectral encoding. For a proof of concept, the sensing wavelength of the imager is 450nm to 750nm, but it can easily be applied to the infrared wavelengths. It has high robustness and high frame rate compared with conventional single-pixel hyperspectral imagers. We also introduce a cascading method that can enhance the spatial resolution of the single-pixel hyperspectral imager. Some experimental results are presented in the paper to demonstrate the performance of our proposed system.
Novel concepts of on-chip Fourier transform spectrometers is proposed. The principal element in the spectrometer is semiconductor waveguide directional couplers. The optical path difference can be tuned by varying the coupling length or influencing the propagation mode of the directional coupler. Solutions of both these two methods are proposed, and the theories are verified by spectra recovering. They function well around 1.5 μm wavelength. Further enhancement can be achieved by cascading more stages of directional couplers or extending the coupling length. This design meets the requirement of small size, weight and power and may be useful in future on-chip spectroscopic sensors.
