The expression "zero path difference" or ZPD is used to describe the location of the moving mirrors such that the two arms of the interferometer are of equal optical path length. At ZPD, the interference is constructive for every wavelengths and the interferogram is at its absolute maximum in one of the output port(and thus at its absolute minimum in the other output port).  3, record 1, English, - zero%20path%20difference

One type of scanner is called a whiskbroom scanner also referred to as across-track scanners. It uses rotating mirrors to scan the landscape below from side to side perpendicular to the direction of the sensor platform, like a whiskbroom. The width of the sweep is referred to as the sensor swath. The rotating mirrors redirect the reflected light to a point where a single or just a few sensor detectors are grouped together. Whiskbroom scanners with their moving mirrors tend to be large and complex to build. The moving mirrors create spatial distortions that must be corrected with preprocessing by the data provider before image data is delivered to the user. An advantage of whiskbroom scanners is that they have fewer sensor detectors to keep calibrated as compared to other types of sensors.  5, record 2, English, - across%2Dtrack%20scanner
