摘要:
远红外探测器技术的最新进展,使原始灵敏度较此前的顶尖探测器提升了一个数量级以上。在这样的灵敏度下,即便采用低温冷却光学系统,光子噪声也会成为主要噪声成分,除非采用限制光谱通带的方法。主流的仪器方案采用反射式衍射光栅,将经偏振傅里叶变换光谱仪(FTS)调制的光后色散到探测器阵列上,从而降低每个探测器上的光子噪声。本文讨论了一款工作在285-500μm波长范围的低温(4 K)衍射光栅光谱仪的研制,该光谱仪用于对室温偏振FTS的输出进行后色散。文中给出了光栅光谱响应和衍射效率随波长与偏振变化的测量结果,以表征仪器性能。
英文摘要:
Recent advances in far-infrared detector technology have led to increases in raw sensitivity of more than an order of magnitude over previous state-of-the-art detectors. With such sensitivity, photon noise becomes the dominant noise component, even when using cryogenically cooled optics, unless a method of restricting the spectral bandpass is employed. The leading instrument concept features reflecting diffraction gratings which post-disperse the light that has been modulated by a polarizing Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) onto a detector array, thereby reducing the photon noise on each detector. This paper discusses the development of a cryogenic (4 K) diffraction grating spectrometer which operates over the wavelength range from 285 - 500 $μ$m and was used to post-disperse the output from a room-temperature polarizing FTS. Measurements of the grating spectral response and diffraction efficiency are presented as a function of both wavelength and polarization to characterize the instrumental performance.
