56. The issue of distinguishing time-delay shift and phase shift has been addressed by Jonas and co-workers (J. Chem. Phys. 111, 10934). Experimentally, changes of the optical path length in the interferometer resulting from the piezo not going back to the same position for each scan will shift time-zero of the interferogram, but the shape of the individual interferograms should be identical if the laser pulse relative phase and dispersion remain constant. If an abrupt piezo drift occurs during a scan, the interferogram will not only shift in time-zero but also change shape resulting in asymmetric interferograms. An unbalanced interferometer will also result in asymmetric interferograms.
