Scientific paper

The performance and calibration of liquid-helium cooled Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometers are considered, with emphasis on those equipped with high impedance detectors and with imaging focal planes. The FT-IR instrument launched on a Talos/Castor rocket in 1986 is described in detail. In addition to their high optical throughput and the multiplex advantage of collecting all wavelengths corresponding to a broad spectral region simultaneously, the compactness and mechanical simplicity of the FT-IR instruments make them particularly useful for cryogenic and airborne-applications. It is noted that extension of the spectral coverage will lead to calibration and data retrieval problems.
