Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an interferogram with a good S/N ratio, by checking whether the error of the moving speed of a scanning mirror is within a permissible range or not all the time and inhibiting the integration of measurement data by the scan at the time when abnormality of the moving speed of the scanning mirror is detected. CONSTITUTION:An AC waveform A obtained by a photodetector D1 is shaped W to obtain a rectangular signal B with a duty cycle which is about 50% of one period of the alternating current. Then, the pulse width of this signal B is measured by using clock pulses of high frequency to detect the moving speed of the scanning mirror M, which is compared with a reference speed to find the high- speed error, discriminating whether this speed error is within the permissible range or not. A computer 3 when deciding on that the error exceeds the permissible range excludes measurement data by the scan at the time from the integration of an interferogram.

In a continuous scanning Fourier spectrophotometer, in addition to the light to be measured, monochromatic light of a certain wavelength is incident, and the interference fringes of that light are measured.Sampling pulses are generated based on the AC signal obtained, and the photometric output is sampled. Therefore, the interferogram data is sampled every time the scanning mirror moves half a wavelength of light of the above-mentioned fixed wavelength, so fluctuations in the scanning mirror's moving speed will not affect the measurement results. However, in reality, there is a certain time lag determined by the circuit characteristics between when the sampling pulse is emitted and when the sampling of the measured value is completed, so if the scanning mirror's moving speed differs, The actual sampling points will also be different9, and if the moving speed of the scanning mirror is different, the frequencies of the component signals that make up the interferogram will shift all at once, but since the photometric circuit has frequency characteristics, the frequency of the component signals If the frequency shifts, the apparent sensitivity to each wavelength will change, and ghosts will appear if the spectrum is obtained from the interferogram without compensating for fluctuations in the scanning mirror's moving speed. There was a problem that appeared.

A Fourier transform spectrometer uses an alternating current signal of a certain wavelength to be input to an interferometer to obtain a sampling signal for measuring an interferogram. The present invention monitors the cycle of the alternating current signal obtained by measuring the interference fringes of light of a constant wavelength every cycle, detects whether the error in the moving speed of the scanning mirror is within an allowable range, and detects whether the error in the moving speed of the scanning mirror is within an allowable range. If the value exceeds the permissible range, the interferogram measurement data at that time is excluded and is not added to the interferogram integration ratio.

Since this determination operation is performed every cycle of the AC signal shown in FIG. 2A, the monitoring of the moving speed of the scanning mirror is actually performed continuously. When the computer 3 determines that the error in the moving speed of the scanning mirror exceeds the permissible range, it takes steps to exclude the data measured by that scan from the interferogram integration.
