摘要

Abstract

We present optical designs with freeform optics in the context of hyperspectral imaging. Results show designs that are 5 × more compact in volume than similar designs using conventional spherical or aspherical surfaces. We will show how combining the concepts of spatial and spectral-band broadening

which will be introduced in this paper

led to the improvement in compactness that is uniquely enabled by freeform optics.
