Methods and media for compensating for irregular motion in three-dimensional spectroscopy are provided herein. Exemplary methods include: receiving a plurality of spectrographs for a series of respective locations and corresponding images of the respective locations, each spectrograph of the plurality of spectrographs being produced using a spectrographic data set of a plurality of spectrographic data sets, each of the plurality of spectrographic data sets being measured by a spectrometer and each of the corresponding images being captured by a camera at substantially the same time, the spectrometer being coupled to the camera such that the spectrometer and camera move in tandem and at least partially share the same point of view; generating a continuous image using the images; identifying a respective corresponding position in the continuous image for each spectrograph, such that each spectrograph is a measurement of the respective position; and associating each spectrograph with the respective position.

Irregular motion compensation for three-dimensional spectroscopy

Systems for adjusting for irregular movement during spectral imaging are provided herein. Exemplary systems include: a spectrograph measuring a plurality of spectrographic data sets; a camera capturing images, a processor communicatively coupled to the spectrograph and the camera; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to perform a method comprising: receiving a plurality of spectrographs for a series of respective locations and the images corresponding to the respective locations; generating a continuous image using the images; identifying a respective corresponding position in the continuous image for each spectrograph, such that each spectrograph is a measurement of the respective position; and associating each spectrograph with the respective position.

Adjustment for irregular sensor movement during spectral imaging

An optical gain flattening filter for attenuating the wavelength power levels of an optical beam to a threshold value. The filter has a series of volume phase gratings which each have a loss spectrum. The sum of the loss spectra for the volume phase gratings is about equal to the opposite of the gain spectrum of the optical amplifier. As the optical beam passes through the volume phase gratings, the sum of the loss spectra is added to the gain spectrum of the optical amplifier such that the optical beam is attenuated to the threshold value.

Optical gain flattening filter using VPG-based optical elements

An optical amplifier system for amplifying an input wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical signal with a first optical coupler to extract a portion of the power of the input signal, an erbium-doped fiber amplifier to generate an output signal and a second optical coupler to extract a portion of the power of the output signal. A spectral monitoring unit having a volume phase grating separates the extracted input and output signals into spectral components. A photo-detector array of the spectral monitoring unit determines the power level of the spectral components. The system further includes a controller operative to control the operation of the amplifier in response to the power levels of the spectral components.
