Abstract
A freeform imaging system with a spectrometer and telescope components optically connected and optimized to increase the spectral and spatial resolution capabilities. Many embodiments of the system are capable of producing a spectral resolution of approximately 1 nm and a spatial resolution less than 30 m such that the imaging system can be used to accurately capture and measure point source plumes of various atmospheric gases including CH, CO, CO, NO, and HO.
