TLDR
The rate at which information about infrared spectra can be obtained in this manner is illustrated by a photograph of the CO2 spectrum which includes both the 14μ and 15μ absorption bands, and which was obtained in 100 milliseconds.
Abstract
The static multislit principle is examined, and some ancillary number theoretical concepts are exposed briefly A discussion is also presented of the aberrations which limit the available field area in various spectroscopic systemsA description is given of an apparatus embodying the static multislit principle and designed to give a cathode-ray panoramic display of short segments of the infrared spectrum in the NaCl and KBr prism rangeThe rate at which information about infrared spectra can be obtained in this manner is illustrated by a photograph of the CO2 spectrum which includes both the 14μ and 15μ absorption bands, and which was obtained in 100 milliseconds

Complementary series

M. Golay
TL;DR: These series, which were originally conceived in connection with the optical problem of multislit spectrometry, also have possible applications in communication engineering, for when the two kinds of elements of these series are taken to be +1 and -1, it follows immediately from their definition that the sum of their two respective autocorrelation series is zero everywhere, except for the center term.

Peak-to-mean power control in OFDM, Golay complementary sequences and Reed-Muller codes

TL;DR: A previously unrecognized connection between Golay complementary sequences and second-order Reed-Muller codes over alphabets Z/sub 2/h is found to give an efficient decoding algorithm involving multiple fast Hadamard transforms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complementary sets of sequences

TL;DR: It is shown that matrices consisting of mutually orthogonal complementary sets of sequences can be used as operators so as to per form transformations and inverse transformations on a one- or two-dimensional array of real time or spatial functions.

Generalised Reed-Muller codes and power control in OFDM modulation

TL;DR: A powerful theory linking Golay complementary sets of polyphase sequences and Reed-Muller codes is developed and shows that any second-order coset of a q-ary generalization of the first order Reed-muller code can be partitioned into Golay additive sets whose size depends only on a single parameter that is easily computed from a graph associated with the coset.

A Rapid Scanning Spectrometer for Oscillographic Presentation in the Near Infra-Red*

TL;DR: In this paper, a rapid scanning spectrometer for oscillographic presentation has been built for use in the photo-conductive infra-red region, which is designed to present spectra from 0.36μ to better than 5μ using a PbTe cell.

Infra-Red Recording with the Cathode Ray Oscilloscope

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a new instrument in which an infra-red spectrum is traced upon a cathode ray screen having a long persistence of glow, so that the spectrum can be measured rapidly, and, effectively, is seen over a definite range continuously.

An infra-red spectroscope with cathode-ray presentation

TL;DR: In this paper, an instrument developed for the visual presentation of infra-red spectra in a cathode-ray screen is described, and the radiation detector employed is a high-speed bolometer made by the Bell Telephone Laboratories having a time constant of less than 0.01 second.
