We present a new approach for the registration of spectral information, which combines a nonlinear interferometer using non-degenerate spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) with a Fourier-transform spectroscopy concept. In order to increase the spectral coverage, we use broadband non-collinear SPDC in periodically poled LiNbO . Without the need for spectrally selective detection, continuous spectra with a spectral bandwidth of more than 100 cm are achieved. We demonstrate transmission spectra of a polypropylene sample measured with 6 cm resolution in the spectral range between 3:2 μm to 3:9 μm. © 2020 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement 1. Introduction Mid-infrared spectroscopy is one of the most important techniques for chemical analysis of organic compounds. It finds a wide range of applications in industry and science. However, the detectors available for the mid-infrared range suffer from TI - Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with visible light JF - Optics Express DO - 10.1364/oe.382351 DA - 2020-02-03 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/fourier-transform-infrared-spectroscopy-with-visible-light-tRwyLtZD0R DP - DeepDyve ER -
