The invention provides a compact hyperspectral imager optical
system and an imaging method thereof, which are used for solving the technical problems that the overall size of a front telescopic
assembly in a traditional hyperspectral imager optical
system is difficult to compress, the installation and adjustment difficulty is relatively large, or the
incident energy is lost and the space coverage capability is insufficient. And the technical problems of low energy
utilization rate and difficulty in improving the sensitivity and the
signal-to-
noise ratio of the hyperspectral imager of the traditional Dyson type dispersion light splitting
assembly are solved. The invention provides a compact hyperspectral imager optical
system, which comprises an off-axis two-image-reflection telecentric
optical path system based on a free-form surface and a Dyson light splitting system based on a curved surface
prism, and realizes high regulation and control capability on light through
multiple degrees of freedom of a curved
surface shape. Compared with the prior art, the high-
spectral imaging device has the advantages that the high-
spectral imaging device is simple in structure, high
image quality, small
distortion and good telecentricity are achieved, meanwhile, the curved
prism serves as a dispersion light splitting element, the whole spectrum has high light splitting efficiency, and the
signal-to-
noise ratio and sensitivity of the high-
spectral imaging device can be improved.
