SPECTRAL DEMULTIPLEXED IMAGING
The simultaneous capture of imaging data at multiple wavelengths across the electromagnetic spectrum is highly challenging, requiring complex and costly multispectral image devices. We introduce a new form of computational multispectral imaging called spectral demultiplexed imaging (SDI), where single-shot multispectral imaging using conventional image sensors with color filter arrays is achieved via a novel numerical spectral demultiplexer that demultiplexes broadband image sensor measurements into a large set of narrowband images at a multitude of spectral wavelengths. To illustrate the effectiveness of SDI, we constructed a compact field-portable computational multispectral microscopy system powered by an integrated Raspberry Pi computer and a Raspberry Pi camera module. The computational multispectral microscopy system was demonstrated to produce narrowband microscopy images at 16 different wavelengths with a single acquisition without the need for wavelength scanning, which makes it well-suited for fast microscopy imaging applications such as the study of transient phenomenona.
