INTERFEROMETER WITH FREQUENCY COMBS AND SYNCHRONISATION SCHEME

摘要

An embodiment relates to a Fourier transform spectrometer comprising: a coherent light source; an interferometer adapted to separate the coherent light source into two or more parts in order to generate through frequency or phase-induced effects, interferences between the two or more parts; detection means adapted to detect the interferences, wherein the coherent light source comprises a frequency comb generator having a frequency repetition rate, and the detection means are adapted to detect the beating of pairs of frequencies of the frequency comb separated by the frequency repetition rate or a multiple of the frequency repetition rate.
