    Abstract: Interferograms produced by a Michelson type interferometer used in Fourier Transform spectroscopy are processed by an arrangement which includes an analogue-to-digital converter (12) which is sampled by a fixed frequency clock signal to provide a digital representation of the interferogram. This signal is processed by a digital data processor (18) which also receives a digital representation of the reference fringe waveform to provide a digital output representing the interferogram. The digital representation of the reference fringe waveform may be produced by a second analogue-to-digital converter or by a timer. The analogue-to-digital converter may be arranged to produce oversampled representations of the interferogram or reference fringe waveforms. In one form of the invention the analogue-to-digital converter or converters include a delta sigma modulator.

    Abstract: An optical gas analyzer includes optical, mechanical and electronic systems. The optical system includes a collimator, a light filter, a modulated interference polarization filter (IPF), and a photo detector. The modulated IPF has two polarizers, crossed or parallel to each other, with an optical modulator and a birefringent plate mounted between them. The birefringent plate has a variable thickness which is mechanically driven and controlled by the electronic system via the electro-mechanical driver. The photo detector has its output connected to the electronic system and is placed after IPF. The gas analyzer has the advantage of allowing the minimum detectable limit of the concentration of measured gas to be decreased by greatly reducing the influence of parasitic modulation. Parasitic modulation is induced by the optical modulator into the optical and electronic units of the gas analyzer and affects the output signal. However, synchronous modulation of the modulated IPF cancels the parasitic effect in the final output, based upon the difference of two such measurements.

    Abstract: A base plate unit for infrared spectrometers and the like includes a series of lightweight components which are combined to provide great rigidity. A light weight but rigid channel core is adhered to a vibration dampening layer which, in turn, is adhered to a pan to form a sandwich with the vibration dampening layer firmly affixed between the pan and the channel core. This configuration reduces the transmission of high frequency vibrations produced by machinery or loud noise to the pan. The channel core includes walls defining internal channels, preferably hexagonal in cross-sectional shape, thus allowing the channel core to achieve very high structural rigidity with minimum weight. The pan has a substantially planar top with skirts which depend from each of its edges to provide added rigidity. A series of bores and fastener casings are embedded in the pan and the channel core to allow mounting of various optical components to the base plate unit.

    Abstract: A beamsplitter holder for an interferometer such as that used in a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer has a holder body with coplanar mounting surfaces formed about a main opening, a beamsplitter mounted against the mounting surfaces, and locating surfaces on the holder body which may be coplanar with the mounting surfaces. The holder is mounted in an interferometer housing which has positioning surfaces formed therein which are positioned to mate with the locating surfaces on the holder body. When plungers within the interferometer housing are engaged against the surface of the holder opposite the locating surfaces, the locating surfaces are pressed into contact with the coplanar positioning surfaces in the interferometer housing to precisely locate the semi-transparent surface of the beamsplitter within the interferometer with minimal distortion of the various parts. The beamsplitter and an adjacent compensator disk may be mounted in the beamsplitter holder using clips positioned around the beamsplitter and compensator which are connected together by springs which extend through holes in the body of the holder. The clips apply a controlled pressure against the surfaces of the beamsplitter and the compensator to press these elements inwardly to hold them in place in the beamsplitter holder, again with minimal distortion.

    Abstract: On applique un facteur correcteur afin de supprimer des particularités anormales du signal généré par un détecteur à photoconduction (10), et de produire un signal de sortie très linéaire, en fonction de l'énergie de radiation incidente, variable dans le temps. Le facteur correcteur peut être appliqué par l'intermédiaire d'éléments de traitement de données électroniques numériques ou de circuits analogues, ou par une combinaison de ces effets.
