A detector system incorporating the Reticon RL1024S photodiode array has been constructed as part of a double spectrograph to be used to study the earth's atmosphere from ground-based and aircraft-based platforms. To determine accurately the abundances of atmospheric trace gases, this new system must be able to measure spectral absorptions as small as 0.02 percent. The detector exhibits superior signal-to-noise characteristics at the light levels characteristic of scattered skylights, but interference in the passivating layer causes problems in achieving the required precision. The mechanism of the problems and the solution implemented are described in detail.
