Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical remote sensing detection, in particular to a polarization spectrum imaging device. Background technique [0002] The electromagnetic wave radiated by the object contains important remote sensing information such as the space, spectrum and polarization of the target, which can not only be used to invert the shape and physical and chemical characteristics of the target, but also remove background noise to provide high-contrast surfaces, shapes, shadows and roughness degree and other information. In order to complement the advantages of spatial, spectral and polarization three-dimensional information and enhance the ability to detect targets in complex backgrounds, a new cutting-edge remote sensing detection technology that integrates three-dimensional information acquisition skills has emerged: polarization spectral imaging technology. Its data products can be regarded not only as multi-dimensional polarizat...

Problems solved by technology

In 2009, literature [3] proposed to place parallel spectral filter arrays and linear polarization filter arrays at the aperture stop of the primary mirror in the device of literature [2], and use micro-aperture arrays to obtain linear polarization images and multispectral images; The device cannot obtain the information of circularly polarized light, and the polarization image is separated from the spectral image, so it cannot obtain the polarization information related to the wavelength

In 2013, the Chinese invention patent "imaging method of multi-spectral light field camera" (authorized announcement number: CN 103234527B) [9] proposed a Chinese invention patent "a snapshot-type high-throughput spectral imaging method and spectral imager" ( Authorized announcement number: CN 102944305B) [8] introduces a combined relay lens behind the device, and transfers the rear focal plane of the micro-optical array to the photosensitive surface of the detector for the second time, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the detector; but this method will increase the volume, which is not conducive to miniaturization; and this secondary imaging method is the same as the method reported in [1] in 1996. The innovation of [2] is to remove the rear secondary imaging optics of [1] and Realize system miniaturization

[0007] It can be seen that th
