Hyperspectral Imaging

Red-Green-Blue composite from the HICO instrument, with telescope and spectrometer built by Brandywine Photonics.

Many techniques exist for hyperspectral imaging, including dispersive gratings, prisms, spatial heterodyne spectrometer, linear variable filters, and scanning Michaelson, to name a few.

Hyperspectral Imaging is a class of instruments which measures the wavelength spectrum of reflective or emitted light over a large spatial area, such as a coastline or forest. Applications include precision agriculture, coastal management, water resource management, and defense. Commercial applications focus on measuring ecological features such as vegetation stress, constituents of mineral outcrops, or amounts of chlorophyll. Defense applications are typically interest in target detection, trafficability, or chemical plume constituents.

As an optical solutions provider, Brandywine Photonics has built Offner and Dyson Spectrometer diffraction grating hyperspectral imagers as well as subsystems for Spatial Heterodyne, Linear Variable Filter, and Scanning Michaelson. Our imaging spectrometers have covered the range from the Ultraviolet, through the Visible range, to the Longwave Infrared.
