Abstract The Michelson Interferometer for Global High-resolution Thermospheric Imaging
(MIGHTI) was launched aboard NASA's Ionospheric Connection (ICON) Explorer satellite in …

As a new type of spatial modulation Fourier transform spectroscopy, spatial heterodyne
spectroscopy (SHS) has the advantages of high resolution, high etendue, real-time …

In the recent decade it became evident that we need to revise our picture of how gravity
waves (GWs) reach the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). This has …

Optical interferometric sensors have acquired significant importance in metrology and
information technology, especially in terms of their potential application in launching size …

Analyses of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere suffer from a lack of global
measurements. This is problematic because this region has a complex dynamic structure …

We report on a thermally stable monolithic Doppler asymmetric spatial heterodyne (DASH)
interferometer with field-widening prisms for thermospheric wind measurements by …

Static Fourier transform spectrometers are devices that can be realized as monolithic and
compact assemblies. In the “grating-based” monolithic version, they are usually realized …

A conical-diffraction-based cross-dispersed spatial heterodyne spectrometer (CDCDSHS) is
presented. Conical diffraction is introduced, and one grating in the SHS is rolled around the …

In view of the special properties of the upper atmosphere at the altitude of 80–120 km, a
ground-based passive remote sensing instrument ground-based airglow volume emission …

Algebraic ray traces of various configurations of spatial heterodyne spectrometers are
developed to derive general, approximate, formulas for resolving the power, fringe …
