The present application relates to the field of scientific research and teaching instruments, and specifically provides a
Fourier spectrum interferometer, which comprises, in sequence along an
optical path, a
light source, a collimating lens, an object plane, an
imaging lens, a spectrum plane, a
spectrum imaging lens and a
receiver. The
imaging lens converges object plane information on the focal plane of the
imaging lens by
laser, forming the spectrum of the object plane information, i.e. the first
Fourier transform of the object plane information. When the
spectrum imaging lens is inserted into the
optical path, the spectrum image of the spectrum plane is observed on the
receiver. When the
spectrum imaging lens is removed from the
optical path, the light rays of the spectrum target plane or the gating sheet interfere at the
receiver position, i.e. the second
Fourier transform of the object plane information, displaying the
optical image of the object plane. The present application can quickly switch the spectrum imaging lens to observe the two Fourier transforms of the optical
system, and demonstrate the results of
diffraction, interference and optical frequency multiplication through specific spectrum, facilitating a deep understanding of the principle of optical
information transmission.
