1. A method for static multimode multiplex spectroscopy, the method comprising:
- (a) simultaneously receiving spectral energy emanating from a plurality of different spatial points of a diffuse source;
(b) applying different multi-peak filter functions to the spectral energy emanating from the different points to produce a multi-channel spectral measurement for each point; and
(c) combining the multi-channel spectral measurements for the different points to estimate a property of the diffuse source.

Abstract
Methods and systems for static multimode multiplex spectroscopy are disclosed. According to a method for static multimode multiplex spectroscopy, spectral energy emanating from different points of a diffuse source is simultaneously received. Different multi-peak filter functions are applied to the spectral energy emanating from the different points to produce a multi-channel spectral measurement for each point. The multi-channel spectral measurements are combined to estimate a property of the diffuse source.
