Some organic materials such as plastic, rubber and foods emit ultra weak luminescence (so called chemiluminescence) during their degradation proceeding very slowly. We have developed a Weak-Luminescence Spectrometer to obtain precise spectrum data for the chemiluminescence. This apparatus was constructed on the principle of multi channel Furier-transform spectrometer combining CCD image sensor and Savart plate interferometer. Some typical chemiluminescence spectrum data for the cooking oil and some medicines were observed with the Weak-luminescence Spectrometer.
