Abstract
In response to the demands of wide field of view (FOV), high spatial resolution and high spectral resolution real time spectral imaging of dynamic scenes, a novel large aperture Wynne-Offner snapshot hyperspectral imaging system of concentric structure is designed. Astigmatism is the main residual aberration over the full FOV. Firstly, based on the first-order theory and aberration characteristics, the anastigmatic condition of the novel large aperture Wynne-Offner snapshot hyperspectral imaging system is analyzed. Then, to achieve a large FOV and to obtain minimum astigmatism, an aspheric surface was introduced to the proper surface. Finally, with a numerical aperture of 0.22 and the FOV of 14mm×3mm, a novel large aperture Wynne-Offner snapshot hyperspectral imaging system is optimized. The optimized system provides a data-cube of 112×24×293 samples over the 450-650nm working wave band. It achieves a spatial resolution of 9μm and a spectral resolution of 0.7nm. The astigmatism is less than 4μm and it verifies the correctness of the forward theory. The image quality evaluation shows that the root-mean-square radius of the spot diagram of the optimized system is less than 1μm and the MTF value is over 0.85@56 lp/mm. The smile and keystone are less than 1.4μm and 2.4μm, respectively. The excellent spectral imaging results demonstrate that the optimized system has a great potential application for real-time recognition of dynamic scenes. Moreover, the design method provides a profound theoretical reference for the design of snapshot hyperspectral imaging spectrometers
