Fourier Transform spectroscopy is beginning to flourish. However, unlike the almost explosive growth following a discovery in some fields, such as gas chromatography or lasers, the use of scanning interferometer systems to measure spectra has had to pass through a long period of quiescence. The latter was, essentially, enforced through the lack of technology, and it was the emergence of electronics and computer science that made Fourier Transform spectroscopy feasible. Further advances in technology, especially the recent advent of the minicomputer, are now rapidly raising Fourier Transform spectroscopy from obscurity.The success story, then, goes back for three quarters of a century (or even further, if one thinks of Robert Boyle's observation in t663 of what are now termed" Newton's Rings" Et~ and Fizeau's use of interference to study the yellow sodium doublet~ 2~). In considering this technique of spectroscopy, it is interesting and useful to begin with Michelson's" visibility curves"; briefly outlining the basis of Fourier Transform spectroscopy, and then to take a giant step in terms of time and technology.
