Abstract
We introduce an Optoelectronic Hybrid Neural Network (OHNN) that integrates software and hardware optimizations to enable the simultaneous reconstruction of visible-near-infrared (VIS-NIR) hyperspectral images. The network employs a linear polarizer (LP) and liquid crystal (LC) microlens array (MLA). We harness the polarization and electrically controlled tunable properties of LC-MLA in conjunction with digital optics technology to construct a software-defined dispersion element digital prism (DP). The OHNN can reconstruct VIS-NIR hyperspectral images, ranging from 400 nm to 900 nm, from limited datasets with a spectral accuracy of 10 nm. The reconstructed hyperspectral images boast a Peak signal-to-noise ratio of approximately 31 dB, marking a 3.2 % improvement over existing state-of-the-art methods.
