FARLY RESULTS FROM AN IMAGING INTERFEROMETER PROTOTYPE OPERATING IN THE SAGNAC CONFIGURATION Paolo Marcoionni** *Parma University — Earth Sciences Department, Parco Area delle Scienze 157A, 43100 Parma, ITALY “National Research Council — “Nello Carrara” Applied Physics Institute, via Panciatichi 64, 50147 Firenze, ITALY P.Marcoionni@bifac.enr.it Submit to: YOUNG FORUM SESSIONS on Remote Sensing KEYWORDS: Imaging interferometer, hyperspectral remote sensing, calibration methods, image processing. ABSTRACT Recent advances in Earth remote sensing imagers have being attempted with the launch of the first Fourier Transform Hyperspectral Imager placed on board of U.S. Department of Defence. From the analysis of alternative optical layouts for a stationary interferometer, we have developed a laboratory imaging interferometer operating in the Sagnac configuration. This instrument does not employ any moving part to optically scan the instrument field-of-view, and acquires the image of the observed target modulated from a staring interference pattern of vertical fringes. Despite of traditional Michelson-like interferometers, the intensity . autocorrelation functions are generated by moving the concerned scene with respect to the imaging device. In this paper we present some laboratory measurements obtained by this new stationary imaging interferometer. In order to calibrate the instrument response and to determine its spectral resolution, we have executed a set of measurements illuminating a planar double diffuser with a red He- Ne laser. The dependence of the optical-path-differences on the source spectral content has been assessed observing a 600W halogen lamp with interference filters having 10nm of bandwidth. In order to retrieve at-sensor radiance spectrum a calibration procedure of the acquired data has been implemented, which also takes into account dark signal subtraction, instrument spatial response compensation, geometrical and radiation distortion correction, DC-offset subtraction, and inverse cosine transform. Some hints are given about the use of such an instrument on board of airborne platforms for remote sensing of the Earth. imaging interferometer developed by Applied Spectral Imaging (Israel) for laboratory microscopy applications (Cabib, 1996). Many advantages arise from using these systems regarding high 1.

However, due to the nature of the acquired interferogram it is The FTHSI optical concept is derived from the so-called necessary to employ detectors with high accuracy of “stationary imaging interferometers” which don't use any digitalization (Junttila, 1991). moving part to optically scan the instrument Field-Of-View Other critical points are connected with the high data-rate (FOV).
