A miniture spectrometer using color CCD and frame calculus technique

A design of spectrometer is presented, which uses a holographic grating and a two-dimensional color CCD camera connected with PC via video format port. And in the image post-procession, a real-time frame calculus technique and a non-linear filter were applied to provider higher image quality and better resistant to background noise. With improved designed zoom mechanics, the device has a wide resolution dynamic range and high frequency, since it can gather more spectrum information than linear black-white CCD. The spectrum analysis experiments for water quality detection indicate that the device can meet variant requirements of analysis at low cost.
