Raman spectral estimation via fast orthogonal search
1997
A Fourier transform (FT) spectrometer measures the autocorrelation
(interferogram) of radiation emitted from a source and estimates the
optical power spectral density through application of the discrete Fourier
transform (DFT) to the recorded interferogram. Although a widely used
method, FT spectrometry suffers because its frequency resolution is
limited to the sampling rate divided by the number of time-series data
points. A large number of points are therefore required to resolve an
optical spectrum properly. In this paper, it is shown that a
noise-resistant technique known as fast orthogonal search (FOS) can be
used to achieve accurate optical spectrum estimation. Further, it is shown
that frequency accuracy comparable to the DFT applied to the full
interferogram can be obtained with FOS even if the original interferogram
is contaminated with noise and then reduced by a factor of up to 10 by
irregularly spaced sampling. The FOS application presented here is for the
estimation of Raman spectra from interferograms acquired with an FT Raman
spectrometer.
