Abstract
An adaptive spectral imaging device operable to analyze a scene includes a detector having a detector output signal and an optical system disposed in an optical ray path between the scene and the detector to image the scene onto the detector. A controllable optical disperser is disposed along the optical ray path between the scene and the detector. The controllable optical disperser has a disperser input command signal. A controller has a controller output signal responsive to the detector output signal. The controller output signal is provided to the controllable optical disperser as the disperser input command signal.
