  • Method and apparatus for multiplexed Fabry-Perot spectroscopy
    Patent number: 9915563
    Abstract: A method of optical spectroscopy and a device for use in optical spectroscopy. The device includes a substrate, and a plurality of etalon cavities affixed to or coupled to the substrate. A signal is received from a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The signal is sampled using the device according to a generalized Nyquist-Shannon sampling criterion. The signal is sampled using the device according to a phase differential criterion for wave number resolution. An input spectrum for the signal is reconstructed based on the signal sampled according to the generalized Nyquist-Shannon sampling criterion and the signal sampled according to the phase differential criterion for wave number resolution.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 18, 2016
    Date of Patent: March 13, 2018
    Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Michael K. Yetzbacher, Christopher W. Miller, Michael J. Deprenger, Andrew J. Boudreau
