摘要:
Macroscopic and microscopic samples are imaged through a spectral filter operable into the short wave infrared, e.g., to approximately 3200 nm. The sample is illuminated for reflective, transmissive, fluorescent and/or Raman imaging by a laser or metal-halide arc beam. The filter has tunable birefringent retarders distributed rotationally and stacked in stages leading up to a selection polarizer. Image forming optics and CCD cameras collect the luminance of each pixel in the spatially resolved image, at multiple wavelengths to which the filter is tuned successively. The filter stages have comb shaped transmission characteristics. Two filter stages with distinctly different characteristics can be cascaded, one or both being tunable. The combined transmission characteristic has narrow passbands where the bandpass peaks of the stages coincide and wide free spectral range where the peaks do not coincide. Embodiments are disclosed for forensic analysis, material composition and morphology, chemical compound identification and detection of biological species.

The disclosure relates to identifying one or more regions of interest within a broader field of view of a dynamic sample using one or more optical components and illuminating photons. Once the region of interest is identified within a section of the broader field of view, chemical information in the form of Raman spectrum is obtained from the region of interest by focusing the illuminating photons or the optical components on the region of interest.

A system and method for performing multispectral color addition imaging. An optical image is obtained for a sample scene comprising one or more target materials. Spectroscopic data is obtained for one or more target materials. A first and second waveband of interest are obtained for one or more target materials. A ratio of the first and second wavebands of interest is obtained and compared to one or more ranges of threshold values. Based on this comparison, a result is displayed wherein this result comprises a pseudo color overlay on said optical image. The pseudo color image may comprise one or more pseudo colors assigned to one or more target materials so as to differentiate and identify the target materials present in the sample scene.

摘要:
A system and method for detecting explosives and explosive residues. A region of interest is surveyed using a video capture device to thereby identify a target area wherein the target area comprises an unknown material. The target area is interrogated using SWIR spectroscopic methods to form a SWIR hyperspectral image of the target area. The SWIR hyperspectral image is analyzed to thereby identify the unknown material.

A sample is illuminated to thereby generate a plurality of first interacted photons selected. The first interacted photons are assessed using a visible imaging device to thereby determine an area of interest in the sample. The area of interest is illuminated to thereby generate a plurality of second interacted photons. The second interacted photons are assessed using a spectroscopic device to thereby generate a SWIR data set representative of said area of interest. A database is searched wherein said database comprises a plurality of known SWIR data sets associated with an explosive material. The data sets comprise at least one of: a plurality of SWIR spectra and a plurality of spatially accurate wavelength resolved SWIR images. An explosive material in the area of interest is thereby identified as a result of the search.
