Interferogram generation

Fig. 3. Phase Locked IR Pulses Time domain interferometry. (A) Output IR pulses from two tunable OPA-DFGs in the 4-pm frequency regime. (B) Three examples of interferograms generated by these IR pulses. (C) Linear IR absorption spectrum of acetic acid overlapped with the output of two OPAs. (D) Photon echo signal from acetic acid upon t-scan. The x-axis is the delay of the translation stage and the insert is a blow-up of a small region.

If the detector signal bypasses the lock-in and is Fourier transformed directly, the ordinary transmission is obtained. Since there are two interferograms generated simultaneously by the instrument, this general approach to measurements with a FT-IR spectrometer is called double modulation [5,6,11]. The concept of carrying...

To add the photon noise contribution to the interferograms generated by the simulator, Igraw, the dominant term of the NEP considered is the shot noise. In this situation, photon noise follows Poisson statistics and it can be approximated by a Gaussian probability distribution. The generation-recombination contribution to the NEP is assumed to follow also Poisson statistics. The total NEP is calculated as...

In Chap.5 the interferograms generated by FUnS are processed and synthesized to obtain the source information and to compare with the input sky map. Li order to verify the performance of FllnS, the parameters are tuned to simulate the Cardiflf-UCL FIRI testbed and the results obtained are shown. 

Figure 6. Interferograms before and after normalizing for the variations of C02 laser fluence with functional form similar to that shown in Figure 5. The data shown correspond to emission from vibrationally excited HF, generated from the IRMPD of CH2F2, and are for a delay of 20 jis after photolysis, taken with one laser shot per interferometric mirror position and a Nyquist wavenumber of 7901.4 cm-1.
