Event-locked Fourier spectroscopy (ELFS) allows one to use ordinary
Fourier transform spectrometers that have continuously scanning
interferometers to perform time-resolved or gated measurements. The
method works as an add-on and leaves the spectrometer optics and
electronics unmodified. It was developed by Henry Weidner as a major part
of his PhD thesis at the University of Central Florida. A patent is
pending. The technology has been licensed to Zaubertek, Inc. and is
available commercially from this company. The history of its development can be seen in a
final report to the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, who funded
the development.
