We present FYMOS, an all-aluminum, robust, light weight, freeform based, near infrared hYperspectral imager for MOisture Sensing. FYMOS was designed and built to remotely measure moisture content using spectral features from 0.7-1.7 mu m integrating an InGaAs sensor. The imaging system, operating at F/2.8, is based on the three-concentric-mirror (Offner) spectrograph configuration providing a spectral resolution of 8 nm optimized for broad spectral coverage with sufficient resolution to make assessments of water levels. To optimize the optical performance, whilst minimizing weight and size, the design incorporates a bespoke freeform blazed grating machined on a commercial 5 axis ultra precision diamond machine. We achieve a 30% improvement on the RMS wavefront error in the spatial and spectral fields compared to a conventional Offner-Chrisp design with similar aperture and the monolithic Primary/Tertiary mirror eases the manufacturing assembly whilst minimizing weight. We demonstrate the performance of FYMOS by measuring the evaporation rate of water on a soil sample and results are processed with a physical multilayer radiative transfer model (MARMIT) to estimate the mean water thickness.
