Abstract

A high-resolution Fourier interference spectrometer capable of operating in severe environments for the near ir is described. Weight, volume, and power requirements have been reduced to make it practical for remote sensing applications, including ground-based atmospheric studies for trace constituents, airborne meteorological measurements, and planetary observations from outside the earth’s atmosphere.
