Scientific paper

The applications of heterodyne technology in extending high resolution spectroscopy to the short submillimeter and far infrared spectral regions are discussed. The use of spectrometers with far infrared lasers as local oscillators and Schottky diodes as mixers in astronomy is discussed. Improvements in diode parameters and laser utility are predicted, making this technology preeminent in the far infrared for years to come as far as airborne spectrometers are concerned. For ground based spectrometers increased competition is expected from superconductor insulator superconductor (SIS) tunnel junction technology at frequencies below 1000 GHz.
