Description:

This project entitled «Next Generation Large Aperture Interferometer for GOSAT and CrIS» through various projects over the years, Canada has positioned itself favourably as a provider of optical solution for space-based Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTS) applications. Space FTS technology is considered to be a Canadian signature technology. The proposed project is titled: “Next Generation Large Aperture Interferometer for GOSAT and CrIS“. The goal is to offer a subsystem that enables improved signal to noise ratio with no degradation of spectral resolution in a smaller and more cost effective package than would otherwise be achieved with more traditional approaches. The proposed interferometer will be designed, breadboarded and tested in representative environmental conditions.
