Scientific paper

A heterodyne spectrometer for the wavelength region between 100 and 500 microns was developed as preparation for the FIRST (Far Infrared and Submillimeter Space Telescope) project. Since no low noise amplifiers exist in this region, the incoming signal is mixed down to a microwave frequency and then spectrally analyzed in an acousto-optical spectrometer. The heterodyne spectrometer was used on the KAO (Kuiper Airborne Observatory) of NASA for the observation of the Orion nebula.
