TI  - Fourier transform spectroscopy using stressed liquid crystal.
PG  - 4634-9
AB  - A Stressed Liquid Crystal (SLC) is proposed for application as a single panel 
      retardance element in a Fourier transform (FT) spectrometer. Volume alignment in 
      SLCs increase the maximum retardance and subsequent FT resolution by creating 
      greater path lengths. Here, the relationship between transmission and shear for 
      thick SLC cells is characterized and the spectral resolution using the SLC phase 
      modulators in a single and double pass FT spectrometer system is quantified. For 
      a 100 microm thick SLC, the resolution of a single frequency peak was observed at 
      60 nm full width half maximum.
