  • Method and device for generating multispectral or hyperspectral light, for hyperspectral imaging and/or for distance measurement and/or 2D or 3D profile measurement of an object by means of spectrometry
    Patent number: 10066997
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods and to devices for generating multispectral illuminating light having an addressable spectrum, for adaptive multispectral imaging and for capturing structural and/or topographical information of an object or of the distance to an object. The illuminating device comprises a multispectral light source and a modulator for temporal modulation of the individual spectral components of the multispectral light source having modulation frequencies. The multispectral light source comprises at least one light source having a continuous, quasi-continuous, or frequency comb spectrum and wavelength-dispersive means, or an assembly or array of monochromatic or quasi-monochromatic light sources having emission wavelengths or emission wavelength bands which are different from one another in each case.
