Abstract:
Fourier Transformation Spectrometer, FT Spectrometer, comprising: Michelson-Type Interferometer (601, 602, 603, 604, 605, 606, 607, 608, 609) comprising: at least one beam splitter unit designed to split an incident light beam (EB) of a spatially expanded object into a first partial beam (TB1) and a second partial beam (TB2); and for at least partially overlaying the first partial beam (TB1) and the second partial beam (TB2) with a lateral shear (s); a first beam deflection unit designed to deflect the first partial beam (TB1) at least once; a second beam deflection unit designed to deflect the second partial beam (TB2) at least once; wherein at least one among the first beam deflection unit and the second beam deflection unit represents a (2n+1) periscope group with (2n+1) mirror surfaces, and all (2n+1) mirror surfaces are arranged vertically in relation to a common reference plane, in order to respectively deflect the first partial beam (TB1) and/or the second partial beam (TB2) (2n+1) times, and wherein the (2n+1)-fold deflection generates the lateral shear (s) between the first partial beam (TB1) and the second partial beam (TB2), and wherein n is a natural number ≥1.
