Hadamard transform infrared astronomical imaging device

Abstract: A 255 picture element imaging device for astronomical applications in the J and K atmospheric windows (1.5- to 1.8-μ and 2.0- to 2.4-μ wavelength, respectively) is described. Spatial information is optically encoded and detected by a LN2-cooled detector. Electronic decoding is achieved during measurement by means of a special purpose computer. Under seeing and scintillation noise limited conditions a multiplex advantage of a factor of 8 is attained.

“…Hadamard transforms have been used previously in microscopy ( Treado & Morris, 1990; Mei et al ., 1996 ; Hanley et al ., 1999a ), as well as in optical spectroscopy ( Hammaker et al ., 1995 ; Harwit & Sloane, 1979), magnetic resonance imaging ( Gonen et al ., 1998 ), mass spectrometry ( Brock et al ., 1998 ) and a variety of other imaging applications ( Slingerland, 1976; Harwit & Sloane, 1979). In the present context, the primary advantage of the technique is that it provides for the efficient encoding of a third dimension onto a two‐dimensional detector, thereby avoiding the loss of photons and time that would otherwise make acquisition of 3‐D spectral images prohibitive.…”
