Description
Summary:Integral field technology, as an advanced spectroscopic imaging technique, can be used to acquire the spatial and spectral information of the target area simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a method for the field reconstruction of characteristic wavelength bands of a space integral field spectrograph. The precise positioning of the image slicer is crucial to ensure that the spectrograph can accurately capture the position of each slicer in space. Firstly, the line spread function information and the characteristic location coordinates are obtained. Next, the positioning points of each group of image slicers under a specific spectral band are determined by quintic spline interpolation and a double-closed-loop optimization framework, thus establishing connection points for the responses of different image slicers. Then, the accuracy and reliability of the data are further improved by fitting the signal intensity of pixel points. Finally, the data of all image slicers are aligned to complete the field reconstruction of the characteristic wavelength bands of the space integral field spectrograph. This provides new ideas for the two-dimensional spatial reconstruction of spectrographs using image slicers as integral field units in specific spectral bands and accurately restores the two-dimensional spatial field observations of spatial integral field spectrographs.
