الوصف: |
The data processing equations used to transform an interferometer output signal into a spectrum have been applied to the instrument noise to find the relationship between the signal to noise ratio (S/N) in the interferogram and that in the computed spectrum. Both photon and thermal noises have been taken into account. The results show that the voltage S/N in the spectrum is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of samples so that taking a larger number of samples requires a larger S/N in the interferogram to achieve the same S/N in the spectrum. Numerical examples are given relating the exposure time to design and performance parameters for stellar and atmospheric applications. |
