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.
