Infrared spectrometer for Voyager

Abstract

The Voyager IR investigation uses a Michelson interferometer with a 4.3-cm(-1) spectral resolution in the 80-2500-cm(-1) range and a single-channel radiometer for the visible and near-IR, 5000-30,000-cm(-1). Both devices share a Cassegrain telescope with a 50-cm diam primary mirror and a 0.25 degrees field of view. Design, calibration, and performance are discussed along with a sample spectrum of Jupiter.
