Abstract
RESOLVING power in the far infra-red region of the spectrum is limited in dispersion spectrometers by the small amounts of power available for measurement. The procedures for isolating unwanted orders with grating instruments and for discrimination against stray light not only reduce further the available power but also require elaborate instruments. We find an attractive alternative for this spectral region in interferometric spectroscopy, and this communication gives some pertinent experimental results.
