Spherical lamellar grating interferometer for airborne astronomical observations of far infrared objects.
A lamellar grating has been developed to be used for very far ir observations on the Gerard P. Kuiper Airborne Observatory. The design characteristics and performance during laboratory testing and initial observations of Jupiter at wavelengths between 50 microm and 500 microm are presented.
