Spatially Encoded Compressive Microscope for Ultrabroadband VIS/NIR/SWIR Hyperspectral Imaging

Benefiting from its simple design, the single-pixel camera is a powerful tool for multidimensional imaging [1]. It can provide an affordable alternative to otherwise expensive complex systems. A popular application of the single-pixel camera is in multispectral or hyperspectral imaging, where it can provide helpful information in biological studies, material evaluation, defect detection, etc. Due to their use in specific applications, most of the existing hyperspectral single-pixel cameras study only a narrow part of the spectrum.
