摘要: 利用厚体布拉格光栅的波长选择特性对目标光场进行窄带滤波，是实现高光谱成像的一种新途径。基于严格耦合波理论，设计了体布拉格光栅结构，探索了厚体布拉格光栅的制作工艺，搭建系统光路验证了体布拉格光栅的光谱成像能力。研究结果表明：要获得较窄滤波谱宽，需要提高体布拉格光栅的厚度周期比，并严格控制入射光束发散角；刻写光束质量、震动和偏振会极大地影响制作的光栅条纹面质量，需要从优化写入光的光束均匀性、采用防震措施以及调整两刻写光束偏振一致性等方面优化刻写过程，以提高光栅的衍射效率和质量；验证了体布拉格光栅滤波片进行空间二维面阵成像的能力，宽谱光源透射条件下，通过对入射光束进行准直，滤波谱宽5 nm左右，空间分辨率约4 lines/mm；漫反射条件下，使用体布拉格光栅对进行色散补偿，能够实现较为清晰的成像，空间分辨率约4.9 lines/mm。Abstract: It is a new path to achieve hyperspectral imaging of objective area by employing the wavelength selectivity of thick volume Bragg gratings(VBGs). Based on the rigorous coupled wave theory, grating structures were optimally designed, fabricating craft were explored, the imaging system was constructed and the imaging ability of the VBG was verified. The results showed that: to obtain narrow filtered bandpass, we should improve the ratio of grating thickness and period, as well as strictly control the divergence angle of incident beam. For the beam quality of writing laser beams, vibration and polarization will all have large effect on the grating's fringe homogeneity, it is necessary to optimize the writing process by adopting vibration-proof measures, optimizing writing light to uniform beam and tuning polarization directions parallel of both writing light beams to promote grating's diffraction efficiency and quality. The two-dimensional spatial imaging ability of VBG were validated. Under transmission incidence of wide spectral light source, the filtered bandpass was about 5 nm and spatial resolution was about 4 lines/mm; under diffuse reflection incidence, spatial resolution was about 4.9 lines/mm by adopting grating pair to compensate the dispersion.
