Technology thrusts for passive remote sensing. Sensing Technology Panel report
Abstract
Technology thrusts for broadband spectrometry and gas filter radiometry development are identified. The development of 'smart' processing and cryogenics/cooling systems for all types of broadband spectrometers is advised. The use of large fixed gratings and the development of 1000-element arrays is recommended. Improvements suggested for interferometers are: the mitigation of background fluctuations; the development of multiaperature, multiband interferometers; and provision of in-flight alignment verification. Specifically recommended for gas filter radiometers are the development of gas filter cell technology, of liner and high dynamic range detectors, and of high uniform optical elements.
