Scientific paper

A Michelson interferometer is described which has been used in observations of atmospheric emission and transmission beyond 300 microns. Mathematical filtering of the interferograms is examined, and the absolute calibration of the instrument is described. The mean responsivity of the instrument at 10 kaysers is evaluated along with the efficiency of the beam splitter and the refractive index at 8 kaysers. Taking all terms into account, the efficiency of the instrument is shown to be 0.015.
