1.1 Principle and Construction
1-3
IRAffinity-1
Assume that the light source emits monochromatic light of wavelength
λ
(cm). When the distance l
1
between
the fixed mirror and the beam splitter is equal to the distance l
2
between the moving mirror and the beam
splitter, the optical path difference between the two beams, χ = 2 (
l
1
−
l
2
), is equal to zero, and the beams are in
phase. While in phase, the beams interfere constructively with each other ( Fig. 1.2 A, B). As the moving mirror
is displaced λ /4 cm, the optical path difference becomes λ /2 cm, and the two beams are out of phase,
interfering destructively ( Fig. 1.2 A, C). Thus, the two beams interfere constructively with each other when χ =
n
λ
and destructively when
χ
= (n + 1/2)
λ
where n is an integer.

Equation 1.1, extrapolated from the above principles, calculates the intensity I*(
χ
) of light (wavelength
λ
)
incident to the detector.
where R: energy reflected by the beam splitter
T: energy transmitted by the beam splitter
S (
λ
): radiation energy from the light source
The intensity of the light observed by the detector is a function of Equation 1.1. I( χ ) denotes the light intensity,
and the wavenumber
σ
(cm
-1
) replaces the wavelength
λ
.
The signal I(
χ
) observed by the detector is called an interferogram, and 4RT is labeled beam splitter efficiency.
If polychromatic light is emitted instead of monochromatic light, I(
χ
) is given by the integration of 1.2 with
respect to wavenumber.
