Abstract: A method for determining spectral calibration data (?cal(Sd), Sd,cal(?)) of a Fabry-Perot interferometer (100) comprises: forming a plurality of filtered spectral peaks (P?1, P?2) by filtering input light (LB1) with a Fabry-Perot etalon (50) such that a first filtered peak (P?1) corresponds to a first transmittance peak (P1) of the etalon (50), and such that a second filtered peak (P?2) corresponds to a second transmittance peak (P1) of the etalon (50), using the Fabry-Perot interferometer (100) for measuring a spectral intensity distribution (M(Sd)) of the filtered spectral peaks (P?1, P?2), wherein the spectral intensity distribution (M(Sd)) is measured by varying the mirror gap (dFP) of the Fabry-Perot interferometer (100), and by providing a control signal (Sd) indicative of the mirror gap (dFP), and determining the spectral calibration data (?cal(Sd), Sd,cal(?)) by matching the measured spectral intensity distribution (M(Sd)) with the spectral transmittance (TE(?)) of the etalon (50).

Abstract: An imaging spectrometer includes a Fabry-Perot interferometer and an image sensor having color-sensitive pixels. The interferometer has a first transmission peak and a second transmission peak (PEAK2). A method calibrating the spectrometer includes providing first calibration light, which has a narrow spectral peak, obtaining first detector signal values from the image sensor by coupling the first calibration light into the spectrometer when the reference spectral peak is near a first spectral position, obtaining second detector signal values from the image sensor by coupling the first calibration light into the spectrometer when the reference spectral peak is near a second spectral position, providing second calibration light, which has a broad bandwidth, and obtaining third detector signal values from the image sensor by coupling the second calibration light into the spectrometer.
