Lasers and FTS.


Research:
 
Fourier transform spectroscopy


Our interferometer.
         
                             Interferometre de Michelson
                                      



Our instrument is a Connes type Michelson interferometer.
It is a stepping mode spectrometer.
This home-made instrument is dedicated to the implementation of new experimental methods. Spectral and time resolution are respectively 2.5 10-3 cm-1 and 2 ns at best. Selective detection techniques have also been implemented.
Present research is devoted to the search of higher sensitivities by heterodyne detection.
