Journal ArticleDOI
Calibration of a Fourier transform spectrometer using three blackbody sources
TL;DR: A procedure to calibrate a Fourier transform spectrometer using blackbody sources of three different temperatures to eliminate errors in the calibration that result from the limited accuracy of the temperature measurement of the calibration sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of a Michelson interferometer with a rotating retroreflector in optical design, spectral resolution, and optical throughput
Peter Haschberger,Volker Tank +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Michelson interferometer with a rotating retroreflector (IROR) for Fourier spectroscopy has been proposed, and the maximum allowable beam diameter is calculated as a function of the geometry and orientation of the rotating retro reflector and the other optical components.

Process for the quantitative analysis of gas volumes, specifically exhaust and waste gases from combustion systems or incineration plants, as well as systems for performing these processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a line of sight grid with (m·n) intersecting volumes for quantitative analysis of combustion exhaust gases by means of emission or absorption spectrometry in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectral range.
Patent
Detecting animals and/or spawn of ground brooders in natural habitat involves mobile infrared, microwave and visible radiation detection, spatial correlation and electronic processing
TL;DR: In this paper, an additional position measuring device (DGPS) enables rescue measures without interrupting the agricultural processing measures, by using infrared, microwave and video sensors, which are attached individually or in combination at a suitable location on the machine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared sensor for the detection and protection of wildlife
TL;DR: In this article, a new application of IR sensors for the detection of game is presented, which detects wildlife (mammals, birds) by using the difference in IR radiation of wildlife and its.
