Abstract
The self-emission from the splitting layer of a Fourier-transform infrared interferometer is modeled with basic properties of optical thin films. The resulting equation gives explicitly the self-emission contribution in terms of the temperature, the complex refractive index, the reflection coefficient, and the thickness of the beam splitter layer.
