A new type of a swinging interferometer, the carousel interferometer, is presented, and its properties are studied and compared with other swinging interferometers. The new interferometer is built with five plane mirrors. The optical path difference is accomplished by rotation of a system that consists of four mirrors. The modulation is almost independent of the scanning of the interferometer. It is not sensitive to external perturbations such as bending or other deformations of the mount. The construction is very compact. Because of its stability and low cost it is very applicable to small Fourier-transform spectrometers for any wave-number region from the far infrared down to the ultraviolet.
本文介绍了一种新型的摆动干涉仪——转盘干涉仪，并对其特性进行了研究，并与其他摆动干涉仪进行了比较。这种新型干涉仪由五块平面镜构成。光程差通过一个由四块镜子组成的系统的旋转来实现。调制几乎与干涉仪的扫描无关。它对外部扰动不敏感，如支架的弯曲或其他变形。其结构非常紧凑。由于其稳定性和低成本，它非常适用于从远红外到紫外的任何波数区域的小型傅里叶变换光谱仪。
