Abstract

See full text

A dual beam Fourier transform spectrometer produces two beams from a single infrared (IR) source. The beams are directed through a sample region, with one beam transiting a sample and the other beam transiting a reference cell. The sample and reference beams are then directed to a Michelson interferometer with cube corner retroflectors for optically cancelling the background signal from the separate sample and reference beams and for optically combining the sample and reference beams in an optically accurate and stable manner. The single combined beam, which contains the difference interferogram is directed to a single detector.
