Syllabus
1. Dispersive spectrometers: prism and grating instruments, basic properties (apparatus function, light gathering power). Types and properties of gratings, their mountings, methods of production.
2. Interferometric systems, Fabry - Perot interferometer.
3. Laser spectroscopy: principles of tunable lasers.
4. Fourier transform spectroscopy: advantages, treatment of interferograms (apodization, sampling, phase correction), field of view and throughput advantage.
