Abstract
Fourier transform spectrometers typically use a presumed monochromatic reference source to track and correct errors in optical path difference changes. This paper will conduct a theoretical analysis to show that non-monochromatic light sources with symmetric spectral profiles can also be used as reference sources without adding errors. An experiment was carried out using a symmetric broadband superluminescent diode (SLED) as reference light to measure the spectrum of some other SLED light sources to experimentally demonstrate this finding.
