This SBIR Phase II research project will address the need to see beyond ordinary human vision, which is critical to improvements in health care delivery, development of precision agriculture methods, guarantee of front-line responder safety and protection, and processing a safe food supply. Hyperspectral imaging, with its ability to capture hundreds of continuous spectra, delivers a valuable tool that provides enhanced visualization and analysis. Current systems tend to be space- or air-borne, large bulky modules that do not lend themselves to portable or hand-held solutions. This mini hyperspectral imager has at its core a novel MEMS monolithic, Fabry-Perot tunable filter and optical system and will be portable and handy, similar in size to a zoom camera in a cell phone. This research and development effort will develop a family of innovative miniature hyperspectral imaging systems that potentially can have a significant impact. These systems can alert our modern war fighter and emergency first responders by seeing beyond our vision and identifying terrorist threats. It can safeguard our nation's water and food supplies by utilizing affordable hyperspectral systems to identify e-coli and other bacterial contaminations before they are consumed.

SBIR第二阶段研究项目将解决超越普通人类视觉的需求，这对于改善医疗保健服务，开发精准农业方法，保证一线响应者的安全和保护以及处理安全的食品供应至关重要。高光谱成像能够捕获数百个连续光谱，提供了一种有价值的工具，可提供增强的可视化和分析。目前的系统往往是空间或空中承载的，大而笨重的模块，不适合便携式或手持解决方案。这款迷你高光谱成像仪的核心是一个新颖的MEMS单片、法布里-珀罗可调谐滤波器和光学系统，它将是便携式的，方便使用，尺寸类似于手机中的变焦相机。这项研究和开发工作将开发一系列创新的微型高光谱成像系统，这些系统可能会产生重大影响。这些系统可以通过超越我们的视野和识别恐怖主义威胁来提醒我们的现代作战人员和紧急第一反应人员。它可以通过利用负担得起的高光谱系统在消费前识别大肠杆菌和其他细菌污染来保护我们国家的水和食品供应。
