[0002] High-precision, large-aperture hyperspectral imaging technology is based on a large number of narrow-band image data technologies. It combines imaging technology with spectral technology to detect the two-dimensional geometric space and one-dimensional spectral information of the target, and acquire continuous, narrow-band image data with high spectral resolution. With the continuous development of science and technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for the manufacturing process of high-precision, large-aperture hyperspectral imaging lenses.

[0003] Existing high-precision, large-aperture hyperspectral imaging lenses have certain drawbacks in use. Most hyperspectral cameras currently use grating beam splitting, which generally suffers from weak resolution, especially at the edges of the field of view. At the same time, the small aperture results in less light intake. A few hyperspectral cameras use an offner structure, but the convex grating is difficult to manufacture and has a low yield. To address these issues, we propose a high-precision, large-aperture hyperspectral imaging lens for the 400–1000 nm range. Utility Model Content
