SHIM-Free Breadboard Instrument Design, Integration, and First Measurements

Abstract

This report covers the design, integration, characterization, and the first test measurements of the Spatial Heterodyne Imager for Fire (SHIM- Fire) breadboard instrument The main objective of SHIM-Fire is to explore the method of hyperspectral fire detection in the near infrared (NIR). It is intended as a more sophisticated and improved method for fire detection compared to the long wavelength video detection (LWVD) approach, which has already been developed within the VS program. One of the goals of SHIM-Fire is to utilize the combination of spectral and spatial resolution inherent to hyperspectral imaging to achieve better nuisance rejection than LWVD.
