Brimrose New Integrated High Speed SWIR AOTF Hyperspectral Imager
Brimrose Corporation of America is proud to introduce a new series of miniature VIS and SWIR Hyperspectral Imagers (HSI) with support electronics integrated to the Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF) Hyperspectral module. Brimrose’s HSI are based on an AOTF that acts as an electronically tunable spectral band pass filter. It is a solid-state device with no mechanical moving parts and immune to vibration. It is designed to work in the laboratory or in harsh environments on installations such as large drones, aircraft, or other vehicles.
New Integrated High Speed SWIR AOTF Hyperspectral Imager
The utilization of the AOTF into the imaging system offers unmatched spectral flexibility in terms of scanning speed over the full range or random hopping on wavelengths of interest. Collecting an image data cube consisting of 200 bands takes approximately 0.2 second. The AOTF HSI provides the complete spectrum of each pixel to the end-user for further analysis or image processing. Spectral data cubes are saved in “.png”, “.txt” or “.bsq” formats and are compatible with ENVI software.
Using standard Brimrose software, the target or area of interest can be viewed at a user specified wavelength in real-time. The system is designed to collect the data cube of either stationary or moving target at any angle. Also, our standard data cube collection software offers customizable exposure time, automatic gain, dynamic range optimization, user adjustable system signal response and non-uniformity correction, image zoom during acquisition and many more. The proprietary design of Brimrose AOTF HSI offers high spectral resolution as low as 1nm in the VIS region and high spatial resolution (camera dependent) up 1392 x 1040 pixels.
Brimrose AOTF HSI is a cost effective, rugged, and compact design that offers superior speed, image performance, high signal to noise ratio, wide field of view and is suitable for various food, biomedical, pharmaceutical and military applications. A c-mount interface makes it compatible with any microscope for biomedical research such as cancer detection, Raman or Fluorescence Spectroscopy.
