A method for linear spectral dispersion comprising:
- passing an incoming electromagnetic signal through a compound prism comprising two prisms in opposite orientation, where the two prisms are selected to provide a substantially linearly varying output over a broad spectral range.
A system for linear spectral dispersion of an incoming signal, the system comprising a compound prism comprising two prisms of different optical characteristics aligned in opposite rotation.
A spectral imager comprising a compound prism comprising a pair of oppositely arranged simple prisms and a light detector, wherein the oppositely arranged simple prisms are selected such that the compound prism has an output that varies substantially linearly over a range of wavelengths of interest.
A method of imaging a spectrum comprising a compound prism designed to produce a linearly varying output over a wide range of wavelengths and a light detector selected from the group comprising CMOS and CCD detectors.
