Research Areas

Interferometric imaging spectroscopy: interferogram acquisition — spectrum inversion via Fourier transform — spatial-spectral fusion imaging. The research spans five major modules: fundamental theory, system design, key technologies, data processing, and application verification. It is interdisciplinary, integrating optics, precision mechanics, signal processing, and applied science.

Spectral calibration technology: the process of establishing an accurate correspondence between the optical path difference of interferograms and wavenumber/wavelength. Its core tasks include wavelength calibration, phase correction, and spectral line shape correction, which ultimately ensure the retrieved spectra have accurate spectral position, intensity, and line shape.
