C. Dorrer et al., Experimental implementation of Fourier-transform spectral interferometry and its application to the study of spectrometers, APP PHYS B, 70, 2000, pp. S99-S107
Various points of the experimental implementation of Fourier-transform spec
tral interferometry are described. It is shown that deviations fi sm the si
mple theoretical principle of this technique are induced by the use of a sp
ectrometer followed by a pixellated detector. Potential sources of error ar
e studied and techniques of corrections are demonstrated. Various applicati
ons of this technique to the study of spectrometers ale discussed.
