摘要:
Optical imaging systems are provided including a light source and a depolarizer. The light source is provided in a source arm of the optical imaging system. A depolarizer is coupled to the light source in the source arm of the optical imaging system and is configured to substantially depolarize the light from the light source. Related methods and controllers are also provided.

Wavenumber linear spectrometers are provided including an input configured to receive electromagnetic radiation from an external source; collimating optics configured to collimate the received electromagnetic radiation; a dispersive assembly including first and second diffractive gratings, wherein the first diffraction grating is configured in a first dispersive stage to receive the collimated electromagnetic radiation and wherein the dispersive assembly includes at least two dispersive stages configured to disperse the collimated input; and an imaging lens assembly configured to image the electromagnetic radiation dispersed by the at least two dispersive stages onto a linear detection array such that the variation in frequency spacing along the linear detection array is no greater than about 10%.
