Abstract

This paper discusses computational modeling and experimental demonstration of a Fresnel zone light field spectral imaging system. This type of system couples an axial dispersion binary diffractive optic with a light field detector design providing a snapshot spectral imaging capability. The computational model was validated experimentally and provides excellent predictions of potential system capabilities. Additionally, the experimentally demonstrated prototype was able to digitally refocus monochromatic images by wavelength across greater than a 100 nm bandwidth. Through simulation, the demonstrated system was approximated to have a full range from ∼400 to 800 nm at close to a 15-nm spectral sampling interval. We also demonstrated experimentally the capability of resolving between and processing two different spectral signatures in a single snapshot. The type of system demonstrated here offers substantial new capability as an optically simple, snapshot spectral imager. The experimental proof of concept and computational model set the stage for further development of these types of systems.
