Abstract

Due to finite width of a spectral line, the visibility of the more fringes, formed by a grating and the image of another similar grating, produced by self-imaging technique, reduces by the increase of the image order. This effect has been exploited to specify the line shape, by taking Fourier transform from the visibility curve of the more fringes. The technique also renders to specify the non symmetric spectral line shapes, which are very difficult to determine by interferometric techniques. When a dispersive material, liquid or solid, is held between the gratings the visibility curve changes. It is shown that by comparing the Fourier transforms of the visibility curves obtained with and without sample, the dispersion function of the latter can be specified.
