The principle of interference imaging spectrometer is introduced. In this paper, ray tracing method is employed to present the rules of the prism Sagnac and the polariscope Savart in interference imaging spectrometer. The explicit formulae for the optical feux are deduced. The representative solutions such as the optical fluxes of Savart and Sagnac are both analyzed and compared. By performing the computer simulation, some important curves are obtained for the variations of optical flux with incident angle and wavelength. The work in this paper provides a theoretical guidance for the study of polarization interference imaging spectrometer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
