摘要
A Tl3AsSe3 (TAS) acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) hyperspectral imaging system is designed and demonstrated that enables real-time imaging of ambient temperature scenes at wavelengths around 10 mu m. The predicted sensitivity improvement is a factor of 46 compared to previous TAS AOTF systems, and is accomplished by increasing the spectral passband, improving the AOTF diffraction efficiency, and using a higher sensitivity camera. Optical system designs are also developed and tested for reducing AOTF aberrations and producing pixel-limited resolution. (c) 2005 Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers.
