Advantages of MOSS High light throughput High time resolution Compact, robust MOSS is optimum in the sense that all photons contribute to three independent pieces of information - intensity, shift and contrast.

11. Polarization Spectroscopy Zeeman Effect. The Zeeman components are spectrally shifted and circularly polarized when viewed parallel to B. The nett circular polarization is a measure of the intensity weighted longitudinal component of the B field. Total lineshap e Normalized wavelength Relative intensity LHCPRHCP

12. Polarization Spectroscopy By filtering/modulating the polarization state of the plasma light using a spherical quadrature polarimeter, either the coherence (bandwidth) or centre of mass of the spectral line can be varied. The MOSS spectrometer senses these modulations as contrast or phase variations of the interferometer fringes. Spherical quadrature polarimeter

13. Polarization Spectroscopy Motional Stark Effect. H or D atoms in a heating beam experience an induced electric field E= v x B that generates a complex spectrum. Viewed transverse to E the Stark split  and  components are polarized respectively perpendicular and parallel to E. Combined polarimeter/MOSS system for MSE measurements

14. Spread Spectrum FTS

15. Imaging systems Multiple spatial channels can be multiplexed through an imaging MOSS spectrometer while maintaining high light throughput and low instrument temperature. Multiple-crystal modulators can be employed for truly 2-D spectral imaging: the spectrum at each spatial position is encoded in the temporal frequency domain.
