We present the first results from a portable spectrometer for the visible and very near infrared based upon the principle of heterodyned holographic Fourier transform spectroscopy (HHS) (Dohi and Suzuki 1971, Dohlen 1994). The instrument uses a Michelson interferometer where one of the mirrors is replaced with a grating. This produces a spatially located, frequency-shifted interferogram which is read out by an all-reflective relay lens and a photo-diode array and processed on a portable PC. A battery pack ensures an autonomy of about 7 hours. Instrumental assets include high optical throughput, variable resolving power, and no moving parts.We have successfully used the instrument in two different remote sensing applications: detection of vegetation reflectance and atmospheric absorption.

Raman spectral data collected with high-resolution laboratory spectrometers are processed into a format suitable for importing as a user library on a 1064 nm DeltaNu first generation, field-deployable spectrometer prototype. The two laboratory systems used are a 1064 nm Bruker Fourier transform (FT)-Raman spectrometer and a 785 nm Kaiser dispersive spectrometer. The steps taken to adapt for device-dependent spectral resolution, wavenumber shifts between instruments, and relative intensity response are described. Effects due to the differing excitation laser wavelengths were found to be minimal, indicating—at least for the near-infrared (NIR)—that data can be ported between different systems, so long as certain measures are taken with regard to the reference and field spectra.

Abstract. Solar absorption spectra in the near-infrared region have been continuously acquired with a ground-based (g-b) high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) at Saga, Japan since July 2011. Column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of greenhouse gases were retrieved from the measured spectra for the period from July 2011 to December 2014. Aircraft measurements of CO2 and CH4 for calibrating the g-b FTS data were performed in January 2012 and 2013, and it is found that the g-b FTS and aircraft data agree to within ±0.2 %. The column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of CO2 and CH4 (XCO2 and XCH4) show increasing trends, with average growth rates of 2.3 ppm yr−1 and 9.5 ppb yr−1, respectively, during the ~ 3.5 yr of observation. We compared the g-b FTS XCO2 and XCH4 data with those derived from backscattered solar spectra in the short-wavelength infrared region measured with Thermal And Near-infrared Sensor for carbon Observation-Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TANSO-FTS) onboard the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT). Average differences between TANSO-FTS and g-b FTS data (TANSO-FTS minus g-b FTS) are 0.40 ± 2.51 ppm and −7.6 ± 13.7 ppb for XCO2 and XCH4, respectively. Using aerosol information measured with a sky radiometer at Saga, we found that the differences between the TANSO-FTS and g-b FTS data are moderately negatively correlated with aerosol optical thickness and do not depend explicitly on aerosol size. In addition, from aerosol profiles measured with lidar located right by the g-b FTS, we were able to show that cirrus clouds and tropospheric aerosols accumulated in the lower layers of the atmosphere tend to overestimate or underestimate the TANSO-FTS data.

A transition between two high-lying electronic states of CO, c3Π – b3Σ+, has been observed by high resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy, in the near infrared, around 8245 cm−1. The triplet splittings of both c3Π and b3Σ+ have clearly been observed. The value A = 1.504(12) cm−1 has been determined for c3Π and confirms the previous direct determination of Klopotek and Vidal (J. Opt. Soc. Am. B, 2, 869 (1985)). Because these states were found to be heavily perturbed, only the analysis and effective rotational constants are reported.
