چکیده
A new electro-optically modulated optical solid-state ~MOSS! spectrometer has been constructed for high temporal resolution measurement of the coherence of line radiation from plasmas. The instrument is an electro-optically modulated fixed delay polarization interferometer, or Fourier transform spectrometer. It has high light throughput compared with conventional grating based instruments of comparable resolving power while being compact and robust against alignment errors. By employing electro-optical path-length modulation techniques, the spectral information is transferred to the temporal frequency domain and can be obtained using a single photodetector. A wide field-of-view MOSS camera has been developed for imaging applications, while multiple-delay variants of the basic single fixed delay instrument have also been successfully tested. We discuss applications including passive Doppler spectroscopy, charge exchange recombination spectroscopy, and Zeeman and motional Stark effects. For Doppler tomographic applications, we show that such time-domain instruments have certain fundamental advantages, not least of which is a simple relationship between fringe visibility and the line integral of the intensity weighted velocity distribution function. © 2001 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1326901#

متن کاملTime-resolved two-dimensional plasma spectroscopy using coherence-imaging techniques
We describe methods for time-resolved imaging of the complex coherence of a spectral scene at one or more optical delays using electro-optically modulated polarization interferometers. By encoding the coherence information at harmonics of the electro-optic modulation frequency, it can be possible to obtain unambiguous spatio-temporal information about important physical parameters that govern t...
متن کاملHigh-speed high-resolution plasma spectroscopy using spatial-multiplex coherence imaging techniques
We have recently obtained the first simultaneous 2-d plasma Doppler spectroscopic images of plasma brightness, temperature and flow fields. Using compact polarization optical methods, quadrature images of the optical coherence of an isolated spectral line are multiplexed to four quadrants of a fast CCD camera. The simultaneously captured, but distinct images can be simply processed to unfold th...
متن کاملOptical techniques for cervical neoplasia detection
This paper provides an overview of the current research in the field of optical techniques for cervical neoplasia detection and covers a wide range of the existing and emerging technologies. Using colposcopy, a visual inspection of the uterine cervix with a colposcope (a binocular microscope with 3- to 15-fold magnification), has proven to be an efficient approach for the detection of invasive ...
