In this paper a method for correcting the radial distortion of interferograms generated by a spatial heterodyne spectrometer system is presented. Instead of utilizing calibration patterns, the distortion model parameters are estimated based on the distorted fringe features generated by projecting the straight interference stripes onto the detector. Comparisons between polynomial models and division models indicate that division models can deliver competitive performance on the reconstructed image with fewer parameters. Simulated interferograms based on ray-tracing are used to demonstrate the correction of errors in the spatial, phase, and spectral domain caused by optical distortion.

Spatial heterodyne one-dimensional imaging spectrometer (SHIS) can simultaneously acquire hyperspectral information from different fields of view (FOVs). However, the dynamic range of SHIS is limited by the detector's performance. We propose a high dynamic range spatial heterodyne one-dimensional imaging spectroscopy (HD-SHIS) based on a digital micromirror device (DMD), which can control the exposure time of each FOV signal by adjusting the flip time of micromirrors on an M-bit DMD, realizing the simultaneous detection of strong and weak signals in FOVs with a theoretical improvement of the dynamic range by dB.

- A technique is introduced for measuring the complex reflectivity of an optical cavity using two lasers: a resonant local oscillator laser and an auxiliary probe laser, both coupled to opposite ends of the cavity.
- The method employs a heterodyne sensing scheme to analyze the interference pattern between the lasers, allowing for the precise measurement of phase and amplitude.
- This approach was successfully tested on a 19-meter cavity, yielding accurate measurements of the transmissivities of the mirrors and round-trip optical losses with an accuracy of several parts per million.

The formation of a plasma sheath on the surface of spacecraft or satellites during high-speed atmospheric entry is a significant factor that affects communication and radar detection. Experimental research apparatus for electromagnetic science can simulate this plasma sheath and study the interaction mechanisms between electromagnetic waves and plasma sheaths. Electron density is a crucial parameter for this research.

Conventional heterodyne readout schemes are now under reconsideration due to the realization of techniques to evade its inherent 3 dB signal-to-noise penalty. The application of high-frequency, quadrature-entangled, two-mode squeezed states can further improve the readout sensitivity of audio-band signals. In this Letter, we experimentally demonstrate quantum-enhanced heterodyne readout of two spatially distinct interferometers with direct optical signal combination, circumventing the 3 dB heterodyne signal-to-noise penalty.

High-resolution spectroscopy employing spatial heterodyne spectrographs (SHS) holds significant promise for forthcoming space missions, building upon its established track record in science applications. Notably, it offers exceptional performance and cost- effectiveness in the ultraviolet-visual (UV-Vis) region compared to contemporary instruments. SHS instruments provide high-resolution capabilities and substantially larger etendues than similar resolving power instruments.
