Abstract
A spectrally and temporally programmable light engine can create any spectral profile for hyperspectral, fluorescence, or principal-component imaging or with medical photonics devices employing spectroscopy, microscopy, and endoscopy. Multispectral imaging feasibility was demonstrated by capturing nine images at wavelengths from 450 to 650 mm (25-nm FWHM) with a CCD-camera-equipped bronchoscope coupled to the light engine. Selected wavelength regions were combined to produce a color endoscopy image.
