Abstract
This paper shows that the requirements on the precision of the rectilinearity of the
displacement of the movable mirror of a scanning Michelson interferometer can be
made less stringent if a symmetric scanning regime is used for which the zero path
difference of the interferogram signal coincides with a mirror position that is
neutral relative to the beginning and end of the scanning.
