Progress of wavefront-division Fourier transform spectrometry in the vacuum ultraviolet

The principle, characteristics and necessity of vacuum ultraviolet wavefront-division Fourier transform spectrometry are analyzed in this paper. The typical structures, performances, and applications of several spectrometers using vacuum ultraviolet wavefront-division Fourier transform spectrometry are introduced. The future development of domestic vacuum ultraviolet wavefront-division Fourier transform spectrometry is discussed. Another approach is offered for obtaining high resolution vacuum ultraviolet spectra.
