A novel hyperspectral camera concept for SWIR-MWIR applications

Abstract

We present the preliminary results of a hyperspectral imaging camera in the near medium infrared region (1.5 μm–5 μm) of the electromagnetic spectrum. This region is important to undertake remote sensing by detecting pollutants released by industrial plants, or methane gas leaked by pipes, or even to study the efficiency and the gases produced by combustion reactions. The hyperspectral camera is based on a Fabry-Perot interferometer.
