Wave-front-dividing circular-reflector interferometer for the far infrared

The efficiency of a wave-front-dividing interferometer with circular symmetric sets of reflectors is studied and compared with that of a lamellar grating. The circular-reflector interferometer shows more efficient modulation over larger spectral regions in the far IR than the lamellar grating does....

Summary:The efficiency of a wave-front-dividing interferometer with circular symmetric sets of reflectors is studied and compared with that of a lamellar grating. The circular-reflector interferometer shows more efficient modulation over larger spectral regions in the far IR than the lamellar grating does. In contrast to Michelson and Martin-Puplett interferometers no beam splitters are employed.
