  • Imaging apparatus having micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMs) optical device for spectral and temporal imaging and associated methods
    Patent number: 10666878
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMs) optical device that is operable to switch an optical image input path between first and second optical image output paths. A spectral imaging sensor is aligned with the first optical image output path and an imaging sensor is aligned with the second optical image output path. A multiplexing controller is configured to selectively operate the MEMs optical device to alternatingly collect spectral image data from the spectral imaging sensor and image data from the imaging sensor.
