Abstract: A beam-shaping optical system suitable for use with optical coherence tomography includes a sheath defining a central cavity having an inner wall, an optical fiber positioned within a ferrule, the ferrule configured to mate with the inner wall of the sheath, and a beam-shaping insert positioned within the sheath and configured to mate with the inner surface of the sheath. The beam-shaping insert defines a beam-shaping element. The optical fiber is configured to emit an electromagnetic beam toward the beam-shaping element and the beam-shaping element is configured to reflect the electromagnetic beam externally to the beam-shaping insert.

Abstract: A low density substrate material for reflecting optics. The substrate material is a magnesium alloy or composite material that is capable of being finished by diamond turning to form an optically smooth surface with low root-mean-square roughness. The finish quality of the diamond-turned surface is sufficiently good to permit use of the magnesium material as a substrate for a reflecting optic without further processing. The magnesium substrate material contains at least 80 wt % Mg and may also include Al, Si and/or other elements. The density of the magnesium substrate material is much lower than the density of current Al alloy substrate materials.

Abstract: Hyperspectral detector systems and methods for spectrally analyzing a scene are disclosed. The methods include capturing a context image and a single-column spectral image that falls within the context image. The spectral image is panned over the scene and within the context image to capture spectral signatures within the scene. The spectral signatures are compared to reference spectral signatures, and the locations of the one or more spectral signatures are marked. The systems and methods obviate the need to store and process large amounts of spectral data and allow for real-time display of the fused context image and spectral image, along with the marked locations of matched spectral signatures.

Abstract: A hyperspectral imaging system and a method are described herein for providing a hyperspectral image of an area of a remote object (e.g., scene of interest). In one aspect, the hyperspectral imaging system includes at least one optic, a rotatable disk (which has at least one spiral slit formed therein), a spectrometer, a two-dimensional image sensor, and a controller. In another aspect, the hyperspectral imaging system includes at least one optic, a rotatable disk (which has multiple straight slits formed therein), a spectrometer, a two-dimensional image sensor, and a controller. In yet another aspect, the hyperspectral imaging system includes at least one optic, a rotatable drum (which has a plurality of slits formed on the outer surface thereof and a fold mirror located therein), a spectrometer, a two-dimensional image sensor, and a controller.
