ABSTRACT SITELLE, an imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer, is part of the Canada–France–Hawaii instrument suite. It delivers spectral cubes covering 11 arcmin × field view with a seeing-limited spatial resolution and tunable (R ∼ 1–10 000) in selected bands visible range (350–900 nm). We present complete picture calibration accuracy obtained SITELLE processing pipeline ORBS. put particular em...

We have designed and constructed a custom far-infrared Fourier transform spectrometer using an antenna-coupled bolometer as a detector. The active element of the detector is a superconducting niobium microbridge, and the far-infrared signal is coupled to the microbridge via a planar antenna mounted on a hyperhemispherical silicon lens. The spectrometer uses a broadband blackbody source with fre...

We report the first high resolution spectroscopic study of the NH3–H2 van der Waals molecular complex. Three different experimental techniques, a molecular beam Fourier transform microwave spectrometer, a millimeter-wave intracavity jet OROTRON spectrometer, and a submillimeter-wave jet spectrometer with multipass cell, were used to detect pure rotational transitions of NH3–H2 in the wide frequ...

Several test compounds were introduced into a unidirectional flow Ion mobillty spectrometer by both gas chromatography (GC) and supercritical fluld chromatography (SFC). The test samples were drugs from three general classes, opiates, benrodiazoplnones, and steroids. Drm spectra were collected for each compound by Fourier transform ion moblllty spectrometry. The drlft veioclty data for each com...

The density of the metastable He atoms in the positive column of a glow discharge is determined using two techniques involving a Fourier Transform spectrometer. The techniques are the traditional self-absorption method and the newly reported Doppler shift technique. The two results agree well within the experimental errors.

Two common bacteria, Streptococcus pyogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were differentiated based on their volatile metabolic waste products. The bacteria were cultured in a closed system and the headspace above the culture medium were collected, preconcentrated, and analyzed using a gas chromatography Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (GC/FT-ICR MS).

We present a programmable spectral discrimination system with minimal data extraction and processing, insensitive to scan nonlinearities. We demonstrate real-time discrimination of monochromatic sources 30 nm apart, employing a spectrometer with a nominal resolution of 200 nm.  2001 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (300.6300) Spectroscopy, Fourier transforms; (120.6200) Spectrometers and...

In order to be able to study complex biological samples, a micro-capillary liquid chromatography system was coupled to a 9.4 T Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. The setup was tested on a tryptic digest of bovine serum albumin, which resulted in high sequence coverage (> 92%) of the protein.
