List of Figures<br />

1.1 Scheme of thermospheric phenomena and physical processes 2<br />

2.1 Schematic diagram showing the optical path of the Fabry-Perot interferom-<br />

eter. The optical path difference of adjoining rays is given by the relation<br />

mA 2nd cos (ti. 18<br />

2.2 Transmittance of a Fabry-Perot etalon as a function of the phase retardation<br />

of a beam for various values of the reflectance R. Four profiles from the<br />

narrowest to the widest one correspond to the values of R 0.98, 0.81, 0.65 and<br />

0.45, respectively. 20<br />

2.3 Schematic diagram showing the concept of the Fabry-Perot Doppler imaging<br />

system. 21<br />

2.4 An example of interference fringes of a Fabry-Perot etalon. These are fringes<br />

of a He-Ne laser source with a etalon of 12 mm spacer and a reflectance of 0.88. 23<br />

2.5 System diagram of the prototype of the Fabry-Perot Doppler Imaging System<br />

[after Nakajima, 1993] 25<br />

2.6 Diagram of the photon imaging head (PHI) detector [after Nakajima, 1993] • 26<br />

2.7 Example of a grid image used for the grid calibration: (a) an image before<br />

• correction and (b) a corrected image . It is apparent that distortions and<br />

nonlinealities of the image are eliminated [after Nakajima, 1995]. 28<br />

2.8 Conceptual sketches of the thresholding and integration process: (a) normal<br />

photon spots and (b) photon spots which overlap each other because of an<br />

overexposure. In both sketches, top, middle and bottom panels show photon<br />

spot images, thresholding images and fringe patterns obtained by the integra-<br />

tion process, respectively. 29<br />

2.9 System diagram of the further developed Fabry-Perot Doppler Imaging System<br />
