A spectrometer (100)that provides the ability to combine the advantages of high resolution, compactness, ruggedness, and low-power consumption of Fabry-Perot (FP) tunable filter spectrometer (105), with the multi-channel multiplexing advantage of FT and/or grating/detector array (118,130). The key concept is to design and operate a tunable FP filter in a multiple-order condition. This filter is then followed by a "low-resolution" fixed grating, which disperses the filtered n-order signal into a preferably matched N-element detector array for parallel detection. The spectral resolution in this system is determined by the FP filter, which can be designed to have very high resolution. The N-order parallel detection scheme reduces the total integration or scan time by a factor of N to achieve the same signal to noise ratio (SNR) at the same resolution as the single channel tunable filter method. |
