Spatial and spectral calibration of an acousto-optical spectrometer

Resumo

The problem of determining the optical spectra at separate points of images that are recorded with an endoscopic acousto-optical spectrometer is considered. The factors that cause distortions in images and spectra are investigated. Algorithms for calibration of this type of instruments and digital data correction for the sequential elimination of distortions of various types are developed. In a model experiment, it is shown that the proposed algorithm provides a quite high quality of determining spectra at arbitrary points of the field of vision.
