Abstract:
The asymmetry of an interferogram is caused by off-center sampling or defects in the fiber interferometer, and the spectra from Fourier cosine transformations of one-sided interferogram have phase errors. A method was firstly applied to symmetrizing interferogram by using the convolution technique in optical fiber Fourier spectrometer (FFTS). The phase error can be derived from the central portion of the interferogram. Symmetrization function was obtained from the Fourier transform of the phase error. Thus in spatial domain the symmetrization function convolved with original interferogram, and the spectra with correction of phase errors resulted from the symmetrized interferogram. Experimental study shows that the method efficiently corrects the phase error in FFTS. The method not only overcomes the disadvantages of two-sided interferogram, but also has better accuracy of the results.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
