An Echelle Grating Spectrometer (EGS) for mid-IR remote chemical detection

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10184704
The availability of high performance two-dimensional InSb detectors enables the design and construction of mid-infrared spectrographs capable of obtaining high resolution spectra over extended spectral regions without moving components. Rugged, stable, cryo-cooled spectrographs suitable for remote field operation are now possible using prism-echelle cross dispersion designs. The authors discuss the design, fabrication, and performance of a high resolution mid-IR field spectrograph designed specifically for the detection of atmospheric-borne chemicals from airborne platforms. The instrument design provides maximum optical throughput covering the two atmospheric windows at 2.0-2.5 pm and 3.0-4.2 pm.
