Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) Servo Characterization and Improvement
نویسندگان
چکیده
The high resolution and low measurement uncertainty goals for next generation atmospheric sounders will require FTSbased spectrometers which exhibit improved velocity stability and disturbance rejection over previous systems. This paper documents the characterization of and improvements made to existing SDL FTS systems as part of an internal study to meet the demands of future missions. Improved velocity tracking and disturbance rejection performance is documented along with selected lessons learned.

Technique for the metrology calibration of a Fourier transform spectrometer.
A method is presented for using a Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) to calibrate the metrology of a second FTS. This technique is particularly useful when the second FTS is inside a cryostat or otherwise inaccessible.
متن کاملTime-domain surface profile imaging via a hyperspectral Fourier transform spectrometer.
We describe a method for time-domain surface profile measurements via white-light reflection spectroscopy using a hyperspectral Fourier transform spectrometer (HS-FTS). This technique measures the frequency of the spectral modulation of reflected light from a multilayer optical surface and reports the spatially resolved optical thickness. Owing to the Fourier relationship, the Fourier transform...
متن کاملA Fourier Transform Spectrometer Based on an Electrothermal MEMS Mirror with Improved Linear Scan Range
A Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) that incorporates a closed-loop controlled, electrothermally actuated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) micromirror is proposed and experimentally verified. The scan range and the tilting angle of the mirror plate are the two critical parameters for MEMS-based FTS. In this work, the MEMS mirror with a footprint of 4.3 mm × 3.1 mm is based on a modified...
متن کاملMiniaturized time-scanning Fourier transform spectrometer based on silicon technology.
We present a miniaturized Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) based on optical microelectromechanical system technology. The FTS is a Michelson interferometer with one scanning mirror. A new type of electrostatic comb drive actuator moves the mirror. We have measured a nonlinearity of the driving system of +/-0.5 mum for a displacement of 38.5 mum . A method is presented to correct the spectru...
متن کاملA Large Throughput High Resolution Fourier Transform Spectrometer for Submillimeter Applications
We have designed and constructed a Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) for the study of submillimeter-wave mixers and optical components. The FTS has a large aperture (up to 25.4 cm) and small focal ratio (as fast as f/2.5) to achieve a large throughput. It operates in the 100-3750 GHz (3.3125 cm 1) frequency range with a resolution of up to 75 MHz (0.0025 cm ). Here we discuss the design goal...
