Results are reported for measurements of IRC + 10216 at 100 microns made with the 91-cm telescope of NASA's Kuiper Airborne Infrared Observatory. The IR photometer employed consisted of a gallium-doped germanium photoconductive detector with a MOSFET preamplifier and load resistor. Signals obtained from the source at modulation frequencies of 30 and 100 Hz are plotted, and the 100-micron flux measurements are shown to be in agreement with previous bolometric measurements. It is noted that the sensitivity of the photoconductive detection system is comparable to that of the conventional bolometers that have been used in airborne IR observations.
