A Michelson Fourier Transform Spectrometer senses an object/material in the time domain, producing an interferogram. To produce a spectrum, the interferogram is Fourier transformed into the spectral domain. Unless filtering is applied to the interferogram, all the time changing (AC) components of the interferogram contribute to the resulting spectrum. Aperiodic signals are not easily removed fr...

α-fe2o3 (hematite) is the most stable iron oxide under ambient conditions. this transition metal oxide has been extensively investigated because it has unique electrical and catalytic properties. in this report, a novel microwave method for preparation of α-fe2o3 nanoparticles has been developed. the process contained two steps: first, precursor were obtained from a mixed solution of 50 ml of 0...

in this research zinc oxide (zno) nano-crystalline powders were prepared by sol-gel method using zinc acetate. the zno nanoparticles were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), ultraviolet-visible (uv-vis), fourier transform infra-red (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectroscopy. the structure of nanoparticles was studied using xrd pattern. the c...

We report on the continuing development of submillimetre quasi-optical slot antenna SIS mixers, which use two-junction tuning circuits. Direct and heterodyne Fourier transform spectrometer measurements have been performed to compare device performance with predictions. Demonstrated double-sideband receiver noise temperatures of better than 540 K at 808 GHz make these SIS mixers substantially be...

The ATMOS Fourier transform spectrometer was flown for a fourth time on the Space Shuttle as part of the ATLAS-3 instrument payload in November 1994. More than 190 sunrise and sunset occultation events provided measurements of more than 30 atmospheric trace gases at latitudes 3 49øN and 65 72øS, including observations both inside and outside the Antarctic polar vortex. The instrument configurat...

Under typical discharge conditions, atoms or molecules excited by electrons have a unique velocity component along the plasma electric field direction. This component results in Doppler shifts that can be observed and measured by a high resolution Fourier transform spectrometer. We show theoretically that if the upper state of a given transition suffers radiation trapping, its Doppler shift wil...
