Spectrometer and interferometric method

Heikki Saari (Inventor)

Research output: PatentPatent

Abstract

The invention relates to a spectrometer, a spectrometric method and detector, and a new use of an interferometer. The spectrometer comprises a Fabry-Perot interferometer (120), to which light can be guided from the object (100) being investigated, in order to produce an interference image, and a detector (130) at which the interference image is aimed. The transmittance of the interferometer (120) is spectrally sliced to at least two separate wavelength bands. For its parts, the detector (130) is arranged to detect the interference image from at least two separate wavelength bands spatially. The detector is arranged to detect the said wavelength bands simultaneously, by exploiting the response of the image elements of the detector, calibrated as a function of the mirror gap of the interferometer, in order to detect simultaneously at least two different orders of the interference. With the aid of the invention, it is possible to implement spectrometric measurements more quickly, or to obtain more information on the object at one time.
