SHS permits high-resolution, high-throughput measurements: in this case the spectra span ~ 308 – 310 nm with a resolution of 0.03 nm even though an extended source (extent of ~ 2x10-7 m2rad2) was used. The high spectral resolution is important for interpreting spectra when multiple absorbers are present, for inferring accurate gas temperatures from measured spectra, and for monitoring weak absorbers. The present measurement paves the way for absorption spectroscopy by SHS in practical combustion devices such as reciprocating and gas-turbine engines.

Introduction Spatial Heterodyne Spectroscopy is an interferometric technique that was developed by Harlander and Roesler based on the Michelson Interferometer [1]. The mirrors of the two arms in the Michelson Interferometer are replaced by two gratings in the SHS instrument. As the light enters the instrument, it passes through a beamsplitter, which directs matched, planar wavefronts to each arm of the instrument where the gratings are located. The light diffracted from the gratings is returned to a beamsplitter where the two wavefronts meet, now with a wavelength-dependent cross angle between them. T
