High-spectral resolution remote sensing instruments developed and under development at CNES
Abstract
The operating principles of a field spectroradiometer are outlined and spectral signatures obtained are shown. A spectro-imager potentially for use on board a satellite is presented. Spectral analysis is performed by interferometry. The capability for detecting low radiance levels is considerbly better than in the case of dispersive instruments and the nature of the output data more amenable to processing in a wide variety of ways.
