If a whole number of wavelengths fits in the delay, then there is constructive interference and the light passes out the main output perfectly. If there is an odd number of half wavelengths, then there is destructive interference and the light passes totally out the complementary output and zero out the main output. (The intensities of the two outputs summed together is constant, independent of wavelength.) Thus for each output, the transmission function is sinusoidal versus wavelength (actually, vs wavenumber which is 1/wavelength). When this transmission pattern is dispersed by the spectrograph it creates a periodic grid. This grid multiplies the input stellar spectrum. A consequence is that beats are formed between features and the grid, for the features that have similar size as the grid. These beats are also called moire patterns. When the exoplanet pulls the star it creates a Doppler shift in the spectrum vs wavelength. In a conventional device this wavelength shift is attempted to be measured directly-- but this is difficult because it is a small shift easily confused with irregularities in the spectrograph. In the EDI the wavelength shift creates a phase shift in the moire pattern. (Usually we arrange for the interferometer phase to vary vertically so that a moire phase shift is a vertical shift.) In most caes, this phase shift can be more easily measured than the wavelength shift because the moire patterns are broader than the features that created them, and less susceptible to instrument distortions. You can confirm this by looking at this animation from far away and you can easily see the moire pattern move up and down even though you may not be able to see the slight sideways motion of the underlying spectrum. How it measures high resolution spectra The moire patterns represent originally high spatial frequency information (that is, narrow features in the spectrum) beaten down to low spatial frequencies (broad moire patterns). These broad patterns are more easily measured by small inexpensive and light efficient spectrographs. This is also called a heterodyning process and is represent by a simple shift in spatial frequency, if the data is plotted vs spatial frequency (a Fourier transformation easily does this). This optical heterodyning process can be reversed numerically during data analysis to recover high spatial frequencies that would ordinarily not be resolved by the spectrograph. The ordinary spectrum is recovered from the data simply by adding all the channels vertically so that the moire patterns cancel. Hence the original spectrograph capabilities are retained. The composite spectrum can have higher effective resolution than the native spectrograph, by factors of several. </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td height=721></td> </tr> <tr class="f-sp"> <td><img src="Resources/_clear.gif" border=0 width=8 height=1 alt="" style="float:left"></td> <td><img src="Resources/_clear.gif" border=0 width=687 height=1 alt="" style="float:left"></td> <td height=14><img src="Resources/_clear.gif" border=0 width=1 height=1 alt="" style="float:left"></td> </tr> </table> <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=750> <colgroup> <col width=10> <col width=739> <col width=1> </colgroup> <tr valign=top> <td height=54></td> <td height=54>Site Index <hr></td> <td height=54></td> </tr> <tr class="f-sp"> <td><img src="Resources/_clear.gif" border=0 width=10 height=1 alt="" style="float:left"></td> <td><img src="Resources/_clear.gif" border=0 width=739 height=1 alt="" style="float:left"></td> <td height=11><img src="Resources/_clear.gif" border=0 width=1 height=1 alt="" style="float:left"></td> </tr> </table> <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=804> <colgroup> <col width=10> <col width=91> <col width=32> <col width=153> <col width=30> <col width=153> <col width=36> <col width=130> <col width=77> <col width=91> <col width=1> </colgroup> <tr valign=top> <td height=1 colspan=3></td> <td height=168 rowspan=5><a href="http://www.spectralfringe.org" target="_parent">Cover art </a><a href="EDIhome.html" TARGET="main">Home </a><a href="edicontactinfo.html" TARGET="main">Contact info </a><a href="team.html" TARGET="main">Team </a><a href="EDI_literature.html" TARGET="main">Literature </a><a href="motivation.html" TARGET="main">Motivation </a><a href="howdoppler.html" TARGET="main">How it Works (Doppler) </a>What is Heterodyning?
