Abstract

This paper presents the design and fabrication of a fiber-based snapshot imaging spectrometer working in both visible (490 nm-732 nm) and short-wave infrared (1090 nm - 1310 nm) ranges. To maximize the light collection efficiency, a custom relay system with 0.25 NA and 20 mm field of view (FOV) was designed and integrated. The bench setup showed that the custom relay system could fully resolve 10 µm fiber cores over the entire FOV among visible and short-wave infrared ranges. The numerical aperture (NA) match provided a 2.07X fold throughout improvement in the visible range and about 10X fold in the SWIR range compared to the previous generations, enabling imaging with a fast frame rate and under low illumination conditions. The presented imaging spectrometer generated spectral datacubes with 35000 spatial samplings and 23 spectral channels. Spectral urban imaging results obtained by the spectrometer in both visible and SWIR ranges are presented. Finally, we collected spectral images of apple bruising to show potential applications in the food quality industry.
