Therefore, this study proposes an integral field imaging spectrometer (IFIS) that uses an image-space telecentric lens (ISTL), a mask, and lenslet array (MLA) as the front structure of the system. The influence of their structural parameters on the optical performance of the system is analyzed by establishing ISTL and MLA models. We selected suitable structural parameters to establish the imaging spectrometer, and provided an experimental demonstration of the system. Our system can achieve a 1.6 nm spectral resolution in a wide FOV of 48.8°. Compared with other spectrometer designs, our system is characterized by a simple structure, wider FOV, and higher spectra. Imaging spectrometerImage-space telecentric lensLenslet arrayIntegral fieldAn imaging spectrometer provides both spatial and spectral information simultaneously to facilitate the analysis of the target scene. Therefore, imaging spectrometers have been widely used in defense, aerospace, remote sensing, public safety, and various other fields,,,. Studies in spectrum acquisition have been conducted for decades, the scanning method used by the earlier spectrometers can only acquire a single beam of light at a time, which limits the sampling rate. Later works focused on developing both efficient image capturing capability and high spectral and spatial resolutions. Although the design of some spectrometers with new structures has improved the spectral resolution, field of view (FOV), and spatial resolution to some extent, these three parameters still need further improvement.A schematic of the system is shown in Fig. 1. The system consists of an ISTL, MLA, dispersion system, and imaging system. The core of the system is a combination of ISTL and MLA. The ISTL makes the chief ray of each object point, in different FOV, parallel. Therefore, the incident light in different FOV has a similar geometric light path for entering the subsequent system. The parallelism of the chief rays emitted from the ISTL will largely affect the spectral resolution. Each object point corresponds to an image point on the focal plane of the ISTL. At this time, a mask is placed on the image focal plane near to the down-sample object surface. A certain number of sub-apertures are distributed on the mask. These number of sub-apertures determine the spatial resolution. Through discretized sampling of the object surface, mutual cr.
