Small-Sized Hyperspectrometers with On-Line Image Recording

Based on an analysis of the main modern trends in the design of hyperspectral equipment, it is shown that when creating new small-sized devices for using in ground-based observation systems, the use of integrated optoelectronic circuits and optical components in planar design is promising. In particular, the expediency of using micromirror arrays in scanning systems and Mach-Zehnder planar interferometers in spectrum separation systems was noted. This makes it possible to abandon bulky, slow, and not always reliable mechanical components and create devices with on-line hyperspectral image recording.
