A spectrally encoded imaging device having a light transmission path arrangement which propagates light to illuminate a target object, a light collection path arrangement having a light collection waveguide which propagates a spectrally encoded portion of the light from the target object to a detector which forms an image of the target object accordingly, and a diffractive element which spectrally disperses at least one of the light and the spectrally encoded portion. The light transmission path arrangement and the light collection path arrangement are optically isolated from one another.

Method and system of spectrally encoded imaging

A method of forming an image of a target that comprises illuminating a target with light, maneuvering an optical unit having at least one diffractive element in front of the target through a plurality of positions, capturing, during the maneuvering, a plurality of spectrally encoded frames each from a portion of the light that is scattered from a different of a plurality of overlapping segments along a track traversing an image plane of the target, and combining the plurality of spectrally encoded frames to form a composite multispectral image of at least a portion of said target.
