Novel Micro Fourier Transform Spectrometers

The miniaturization of spectrometer opens a new application area with real-time and on-site measurements.The Fourier transform spectrometer(FTS)is much attractive considering its particular advantages among the approaches.This paper reviews the current status of micro FTS in worldwide and describes its developments;In addition,analyzed are the key problems in designing and fabricating FTS to be settled during the miniaturization.Finally,a novel model of micro FTS with no moving parts is proposed and analyzed,which may provide new concepts for the design of spectrometers.
