A polarizing Michelson interferometer for the far-infrared and millimetre regions
Abstract
A polarizing Michelson interferometer for the far-infrared and millimetre regions is described. It uses a simple mechanical drive to attain high-resolution spectra with excellent frequency accuracy, as evidenced by measurements of the rotational parameters for N 2O, for which the D parameter is measured with an uncertainty of ± 190 Hz; comparable with the accuracy of microwave techniques.
