Development of spectrometers for classical atomic spectroscopy

Abstract

Spektrometar je uređaj koji izravno elektronskim detektorom registrira spektar i mjeri njegov intenzitet. Budući da spektri nastaju na različite načine, spektrometri su vrlo različiti u izvedbi i stupnju složenosti. Ovaj diplomski rad obrađuje povijesni razvoj optičkih spektrometara, od prvih s prizmom do suvremenih kao što su Michelsonov interferometar i Fourier transform spektrometar (FTS). Naglasak je na proučavanju fizičkih osnova rada najvažnijih vrsta optičkih spektrometara.Spectrometer is a device that registers the spectrum directly by the electronic detector and measures its intensity. Since spectra are produced in different ways, spectrometers are very different in performance and degree of complexity. This graduate thesis deals with the historical development of optical spectrometers, from the first ones with prism to the contemporary ones such as Michelson's interferometer and Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS). The emphasis is on studying the physical basis of the most important types of optical spectrometers
