Abstract

The status of infrared instrumentation for astronomical investigations at U.C. Berkeley is described with emphasis on the techniques of high spectral and spatial resolution. Present instrumentation includes three Fabry-Perot spectrometers for the 10, 20, and 100 μm wavelength regions, a submillimeter receiver using an optically pumped laser, a 10 μm heterodyne spectrometer for studies of planetary atmospheres, and a 2-element 10 μm stellar interferometer for measuring the angular diameters of infrared stars.
