In this paper, we present a Fourier Transform micro-spectrometer which works based on a lamellar grating interferometer. The spectrometer model is electrostatically driven by parallel plate actuators which change the optical path difference (OPD) between movable grating facets and fixed ones. With a 200V input voltage, a maximum OPD of 48.7μm is achieved. The spectrum of a combined light source of a diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser (λ=532.0nm) and a laser diode (λ=637.2nm) is experimentally acquired to demonstrate the performance of the model. The reconstructed spectrum displays two separate spectral peaks at 530.5nm and 635.2nm and the corresponding full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) resolutions are 9.8nm and 12.8nm respectively, indicating good wavelength accuracy and optical resolution.

Abstract. An intercomparison of three Fourier transform spectrometers (FTSs) with significantly different resolutions is presented. The highest-resolution instrument has a maximum optical path difference of 250 cm, and the two lower-resolution instruments have maximum optical path differences of 50 cm and 25 cm. The results indicate that the two lower-resolution instruments can retrieve total column amounts of O3, HCl, N2O and CH4 using the SFIT2 retrieval code with percent differences from the high-resolution instrument generally better than 4%. Total column amounts of the stratospheric species (O3 and HCl) have larger differences than those of the tropospheric species (N2O and CH4). Instrument line shape (ILS) information is found to be of critical importance when retrieving total columns of stratospheric gases from the lower-resolution instruments. Including the ILS information in the retrievals significantly reduces the difference in total column amounts between the three instruments. The remaining errors for stratospheric species total column amounts can be attributed to the lower sensitivity of the lower-resolution FTSs to the stratosphere.
