Abstract

Recent advances in far-infrared detector technology have led to increases in raw sensitivity of more than an order of magnitude over previous state-of-the-art detectors. With such sensitivity, photon noise becomes the dominant noise component, even when using cryogenically cooled optics, unless a method of restricting the spectral bandpass is employed. One method is to use a low-resolution diffraction grating spectrometer to post-disperse the signal from a high-resolution instrument, such as a Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS). This concept has been adopted for the SAFARI instrument on the SPICA mission. This paper discusses the development of a prototype cryogenic grating spectrometer that has been used to evaluate the concept of a post-dispersed polarizing FTS over the range from 285-500 μm.
