Abstract

A compact high resolution (.002 cm−1) vacuum Fourier transform spectrometer for use with far infrared synchrotron radiation was constructed at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The spectrometer may be operated using a gas cell of path length of 2 m and a He cooled bolometer with NEP of 10−13. The pure rotational spectrum of Ammonia was used to test the spectrometer.
