Fourier transform spectrometer

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.F02493
A scanning interferometer, containing no principal dispersive element, which first splits a beam into two or more components, then recombines these with a phase difference. The spectrum is obtained by a Fourier transformation of the output of the interferometer.
