Abstract
With unique working principle and spectral characteristic, the long wave infrared (LWIR) interferometric spectral imaging is a popular technology with wide application in many fields. In order to miniaturize and light the instrument, a new method of LWIR spectral imaging system based on a variable gap Fabry-Perot (FP) interferometer is researched. With the system working principle analyzed, theoretically, it is researched that how to make certain the primary parameter, such as, the reflectivity of the two interferometric cavity surfaces and the wedge angle of interferometric cavity. A prototype is developed and good experimental results of blackbody and polypropylene film are obtained. The research shows that besides high throughput and high spectral resolution, the advantage of miniaturization is also simultaneously achieved in this method.
