Abstract
In this paper we study the signal-to-noise ratio degradation in a moving-optical-wedge interferometer when used as an optical spectrometer. Both the mechanical vibration and temperature fluctuation effects are studied, and the effects are compared to their counterparts in a conventional Michelson interferometer. While the wedge interferometer is found to be more immune to linear translational vibration, it shows much higher sensitivity to rotational vibration.
