Abstract

Snapshot imaging Fourier transform spectrometers include a lens array that produces sub-images that are directed through a birefringent interferometer in orthogonal polarization eigenstates that acquire an optical path difference. Interference patterns based on this OPD can be Fourier transformed to obtain a spectral image. In some examples, polarizing gratings provide a spatial heterodyne frequency and offset the spectra.
