Correction of Error Interference Fringes Based on Automatic Spectral Analysis

When interferograms in space heterodyne spectrometers exhibit tilted or distorted fringes, significant errors may occur in the demodulated spectral information. To address this issue, we propose a method for interferogram correction based on automatic spectral analysis. Simulations on erroneous interferograms of monochromatic and polychromatic light demonstrate that this method effectively corrects fringe tilts and significantly improves spectral demodulation accuracy. The standard deviations between the corrected spectra and ideal spectra for monochromatic and polychromatic light are 0.016 and 0.019, respectively, compared to 0.104 and 0.127 for uncorrected spectra. Additionally, the method successfully corrects experimental interferograms of potassium and neon lamps, accurately demodulating characteristic peaks of potassium and neon emission lines. It also enables accurate displacement measurement in a Michelson interferometer experiment. This method, through automatic analysis and one-sided spectral correction, efficiently and accurately corrects erroneous interferograms and enhances spectral demodulation accuracy, showing broad application potential.

Abstract

When interferograms in space heterodyne spectrometers exhibit tilted or distorted fringes, significant errors may occur in the demodulated spectral information. To address this issue, we propose a method for interferogram correction based on automatic spectral analysis. Simulations on erroneous interferograms of monochromatic and polychromatic light demonstrate that this method effectively corrects fringe tilts and significantly improves spectral demodulation accuracy. The standard deviations between the corrected spectra and ideal spectra for monochromatic and polychromatic light are 0.016 and 0.019, respectively, compared to 0.104 and 0.127 for uncorrected spectra. Additionally, the method successfully corrects experimental interferograms of potassium and neon lamps, accurately demodulating characteristic peaks of potassium and neon emission lines. It also enables accurate displacement measurement in a Michelson interferometer experiment. This method, through automatic analysis and one-sided spectral correction, efficiently and accurately corrects erroneous interferograms and enhances spectral demodulation accuracy, showing broad application potential.
