摘要
In this paper we study the signal-to-noise ratio degradation in a moving-optical-wedge interferometer when used as an optical spectrometer. Both the mechanical vibration and temperature fluctuation effects are studied, and the effects are compared to their counterparts in a conventional Michelson interferometer. While the wedge interferometer is found to be more immune to linear translational vibration, it shows much higher sensitivity to rotational vibration. (C) 2012 Optical Society of America
