Simultaneous Observation Of Multiple Monochromatic Images With An Imaging Selective Modulation Interferometric Spectrometer

A method for simultaneously observing monochromatic images from a polychromatic source is presented that utilizes an imaging selective modulation interferometric spectrometer. With this technique, rapidly varying changes in many spectral components may be simultaneously monitored. After a brief review of the theory (mostly qualitative), the modifications and techniques necessary for producing more than one spectral image will be discussed.
