Methods for removing such features are discussed.\u0000 Nonlinear response in HgCdTe detectors is a well known complication in midir Fourier transform spectroscopy; methods of removing the spectral artifacts created by nonlinearity are less well understood. While the instrument and experiment may be designed so that the desired spectrum is properly sampled, non-linearity introduces spectral features that lie outside the intended bandpass and consequently are undersampled and subject to aliasing. Consequently, in cases where nonlinear response may be expected it is essential that optical filters be chosen with the nonlinear harmonics in mind. Several examples of nonlinearity are considered, with practical examples drawn from the ATMOS data set.","PeriodicalId":159025,"journal":{"name":"High Resolution Fourier Transform Spectroscopy","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123446823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One method steps the mirror to a new fixed position and takes a time-resolved trace at each position. The difficulty with this method comes in the long-term instrument stability of the mirror position in this \"step and stop\" mode of operation.2–4 Another method allows the mirror to sweep rapidly and continuously, and data at a number of times after a single triggering event are collected as the mirror sweeps. The point in the interferogram where the trigger occurs is varied, so that data are obtained at all mirror positions and times. These data are then used to construct interferograms at a number of different time delays after the triggering event. This method has sometimes been found to have artifacts if there is Jitter in the sweep speed of the mirror or if the amplitude of the initiating source is not constant.5","PeriodicalId":159025,"journal":{"name":"High Resolution Fourier Transform Spectroscopy","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129059350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
