The invention relates to the field of
spectral imaging, in particular to a double-step Fabry-Perot interference snapshot
imaging spectrometer, which comprises a telescopic
system, a
micro lens array, a Fabry-Perot array interference
system and an area array
detector, and is characterized in that the telescopic
system is used for collecting a target
light field and carrying out view field limitation and collimation on the target
light field; the Fabry-Perot array interference system is used for modulating a target
light field into an interference light field array, the Fabry-Perot array interference system comprises
two step lenses which are orthogonal in the step direction, the highest steps of the
two step lenses are tightly attached, and an air gap with the thickness changing in a
checkerboard-shaped two-dimensional increasing mode is formed between the
two step lenses; the
microlens array is used for imaging the interference light field array onto the area array
detector through each imaging channel; and the area array
detector is used for receiving the
transmission image field of the
microlens array to obtain an interference image array. The invention has the advantages of small volume, light weight, compact structure, static state, stability, reliability and the like.
