Patent number: 11047737Abstract: A temporal-spectral multiplexing sensor for simultaneous or near simultaneous spatial-temporal-spectral analysis of an incoming optical radiation field. A spectral encoder produces a time series of spectrally encoded optical images at a high sampling rate. A series of full panchromatic spectrally encoded optical images are collected at a rate similar to the sampling rate. A detector records at least one spatial region of the spectrally encoded optical image. A processor is configured to process two series of spectrally encoded optical images to produce an artifact-free spectral image. The processing includes using the panchromatic images to normalize the spectrally encoded images, and decoding the normalized encoded images to produce high fidelity spectral signatures, free of temporal artifacts due to fluctuations at frequencies slower than the sampling rate for polychromatic images.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Spectral Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Robert M. Shroll, Pajo Vujkovic-Cvijin, Jamine Lee, Neil Goldstein, Marsha Fox, Michael Kogan

Patent number: 8371102Abstract: A system for controlling the uniformity of combustion over a range of operating conditions in a combustor with a plurality of fuel nozzles. The system includes a number of optical sensors, each sensor comprising an optical probe that collects naturally occurring optical radiation emanating from a segment of the combustor or combustor exhaust, and at least one transducer that receives the radiation collected by the probes, compares the intensity of collected radiation from each sensor in a plurality of spectral pass-bands that are indicative of the fuel/air ratio in the combustor segments, and produces output signals that are indicative of the state of combustion in the combustor segments. A control system receives the output signals from the transducers and in response controls the fuel flow to the fuel nozzles to achieve an output from each of the sensors that has been determined to be indicative of a predetermined state of combustion.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Spectral Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Jamine Lee, Neil Goldstein, Jason A.

Patent number: 8351031Abstract: A single-shot spectral imager or imaging system which acquires multiplexed spatial and spectral data in a single snapshot with high optical collection efficiency and with the speed limited only by the readout time of the detector circuitry. The imager uses dispersive optics together with spatial light modulators to encode a mathematical transform onto the acquired spatial-spectral data. A multitude of encoded images is recorded simultaneously on a focal plane array and subsequently decoded to produce a spectral/spatial hypercube.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2010Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Spectral Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Marsha J.

Patent number: 8305575Abstract: An adaptive spectral sensor, and methods of using the sensor. The sensor uses a programmable band pass transmission filter to produce both contrast signals, which discriminate specific target materials from background materials by comparing spectral signatures in hardware, and scene radiance spectra. The adaptive spectral sensor may measure one or more scene spectra and may form a spectral image. The sensor may automatically adjust to changing spectral, spatial and temporal conditions in the environment being monitored, by changing sensor resolution in those dimensions and by changing the detection band pass. The programmable band pass can be changed on-the-fly in real time to implement a variety of detection techniques in hardware or measure the spatial or spectral signatures of specific materials and scenes.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2009Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Spectral Sciences, Inc.Inventors: Neil Goldstein, Jason A.

Patent number: 7324196Abstract: A spectral encoder for producing spectrally selected images of a radiation field containing multiple spectral components. An imaging spectrograph defines a first optical path that produces from the input radiation field a spectrally dispersed image comprising multiple spectral components displaced along a dispersion direction. Spectral pass bands are encoded on the dispersed image by a programmable spatial light modulator using one or more spatial masks. The imaging spectrograph further defines a second optical path that reverses the spectral dispersion of the first path and produces a spectrally-encoded polychromatic output image containing only those spectral components encoded by the spatial mask. The first and second optical paths share a common dispersing element. A detector records at least one spatial region of the spectrally encoded output image.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2006Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Inventors: Neil Goldstein, Pajo Vujkovic-Cvijin, Marsha J.
