Dr. Gonzalo R. Arce leads the Multi-modal Imaging and Spectroscopy Laboratory housed in a 700 sq ft. room in Evans Hall 305. It supports experimental demonstrations of compressed spectral imaging modalities in the visible (VIS) and the infrared (IR) wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. This area contains a network of workstations for design, simulation, and analysis of imaging systems and computational imaging algorithms, and high-speed Internet connections for external collaborations. Current CSI instrumentation is housed in a temperature/humidity controlled environment and includes:
Ultra-precision technology base optical tables with compressor stability (TMC CleanTop)
Focal Plane Array detectors (FPA) for the visible (AVT Stingray F-033B, Allied Pike F100B and Allied Pike F100C), and for the infrared (Xenics XEVA-2508, FLIR SC-645).
DLP Texas Instruments Digital-Micromirror-Devices (DLP D1100, DLP Discovery 4100).
Monochromators for the VIS (Oriel 77200) and for the IR (Spectral Products DK-240).
Achromatic optical imaging lenses kits (Thorlabs AC-254-A, AC-254-B, AC-254-C).
Visible spectrometer (Ocean Optics VIS-USB-2000+).
Computational workstations (Dell Optiplex 790, Dell Dimension E520, and Dell Precision T7500), equipped with ZEMAX, LabView, and a mix of supporting licensed software and freeware available.
