High resolution hadamard transform spectrometer.

The ir spectrometer described employs alkaline halide lenses, an echelle grating, and a cryogenically cooled doped germanium bolometer as a detector. It is provided for two possible modes of operation: one is a single slit or conventional scan, the other is a multiplex or Hadamard scan. Signal strength, noise characteristics, scanning time, and available computer facilities determine the mode of operation. Sample spectra are presented.
