Title:Stress Induced Birefringence SpectroscopyAuthor(s):Stefan Schallmeiner, Florian Dietachmayr, Bernhard ZagarAbstract:The Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer is the most commonly used spectrometer. Its disadvantages are its high cost and stringent mechanical requirements. This proposed paper presents a novel approach on spectroscopy using stress induced birefringence. The presented setup requires only a planar light source, a loaded cantilever placed between crossed polarizers, and a camera. The spectrum of the transmitted light is calculated by using the Fourier-transform of the emerging fringe pattern due to the mechanical loading.Booktitle:Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Sensors and Electronic Instrumentation AdvancesPublisher:International Frequency Sensor Association (IFSA) Publishing, S.
