Hyperspectral Imaging and Microscopy Based on Fourier Transform Spectroscopy

What to expect

Spectral imaging, also known as imaging spectroscopy, refers to methods and devices for acquiring a complete light spectrum for each point in the image of a scene. It provides much richer information with respect to standard imaging, enabling to identify materials or detect dynamical processes. Spectral imaging has been applied to a wide range of scientific investigations, such as remote sensing, pigment determination in biology, medicine, coastal ocean imaging, water analysis, agriculture, cultural heritage and archaeology, just to cite a few. In particular, hyperspectral imaging aims at acquiring the whole continuous spectrum of each point of the scene. A powerful approach to this aim is to combine classical imaging with Fourier-transform spectrometry.

This introductory course provides a comprehensive overview of hyperspectral imaging, closing with an outline of the suite of supports available from PhotonHub and how companies can apply. Online training also provides an open forum for attendees to ask specific questions to experts in the field of photonic technologies and a wide range of application areas. This online training course is free-of-charge but requires attendees to register in advance.
