Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...

Solar High Resolution Studies . ... Dynamic magnetic fields continuously emerging from the solar interior on a wide range of scales, and their interaction with convectively-driven plasma flows, play a major role in shaping the whole solar atmosphere. Even though the fundamental spatial scales of turbulence and magnetic fields are still unreachable with present-day telescopes, polarimetric observations at the highest possible resolution will allow important insights into these issues. ...
