The invention discloses a hyperspectral imaging light source system. An illumination box is a closed rectangular solid, wherein the cavity of the illumination box is respectively provided with a line scan camera, an optical splitting system, an object stage of an electric control translation stage, and an object to be detected, an electric control translation stage lead screw, a line source box and a photosensitive diode which are arranged on the object stage; a line source controller, an electric control translation stage controller and a computer are arranged outside the illumination box; and the photosensitive diode senses the light-intensity variation of the line source and inputs feedback signals to the line source controller, and a halide lamp is arranged in the line source box and is connected with the line source controller. The invention does not need to be subject to the conduction through optical fibers, thereby eliminating noises caused by the nonuniform illumination and improving the illumination uniformity and stability. Besides, the invention eliminates the light-intensity variation as a result of the increased service life of the light source and the instability of the external circuit, inhibits the baseline drift phenomenon in the signal acquisition process, improves the utilization ratio of the light source, and can acquire hyperspectral images of high quality and high stability.
