Development of a selective interference filter for measuring concentrations of trace gases in the stratosphere

A Michelson interferometer set at zero path difference and containing gas samples in its arms can act as a highly selective filter passing only radiation very near the absorption line centres of the gas. An assessment of a variety of instruments having this property is made and the construction of a...

Description
Summary:A Michelson interferometer set at zero path difference and containing gas samples in its arms can act as a highly selective filter passing only radiation very near the absorption line centres of the gas. An assessment of a variety of instruments having this property is made and the construction of a Mach-Zehnder arrangement is discussed.
