Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTS)
FTS focuses on the latest innovations in instrumentation and on applications across astronomy and astrophysics, atmospheric science and remote sensing, laboratory spectroscopy, analytical chemistry, biomedicine, quantum sensing, fusion diagnostics and a wide range of industrial uses.
The field spans observations of galaxies, stars, planets and the cosmic infrared and microwave background radiation. Ground-based, airborne and space-based FT interferometers are applied to topics in physics, geophysics and astrophysics, including solar activity, radiative energy transport in the atmosphere, mapping natural and anthropogenic atmospheric trace gases and using Earth’s atmosphere as a natural spectroscopic laboratory. This international conference offers a unique opportunity to share and discuss these advances in a strongly interdisciplinary setting.
Emerging work includes chip-scale interferometers enabled by nanotechnology, which unlock new possibilities for miniaturized and ruggedized space and industrial applications. Exploration of new spectral regions, such as the vacuum ultraviolet and terahertz, is advancing through synchrotron radiation sources and emerging laser technologies. Artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques provide new opportunities for analysis and data processing. We much encourage contributions that fall within these forefront research areas.
