Abstract

The feasibility of using Fabry–Perot interferometers in the remote sensing of gaseous pollutants via their rotational Raman spectra depends upon the development of a method of rejecting back‐scattered light arising from Mie scattering from dust, Rayleigh, and Raman scattering from the abundant gases in the region being observed. We present measurements of the rejection of Rayleigh and rotational Raman light using Fabry–Perot interferometers in reflection to demonstrate a method of reducing background interference by more than two orders‐of‐magnitude.
