Infrared Spectroscopy (and the Cassini Composite Infrared spectrometer) Adam Ginsburg September 25, 2007

Outline ● Infrared Spectroscopy: ● What is it, what science? ● Difficulties with observing in the IR ● Detectors ● Spectrometers ● Conceptual Question ● Cassini instrument comparison

Infrared: What wavelengths?

What can you see? Thermal Infrared

Near, Mid, Far Blackbody emission throughout spectrum Near-IR dominated by reflection and absorption

Seeing deeper at longer wavelengths

Infrared Spectra Emission and absorption lines and bands

Infrared Mechanisms Annoying animations give an idea of the types of molecular transitions that can occur

Science in the Infrared Mid-High resolution spectra show emission and absorption features, i.e. atmospheric chemical content Low-resolution spectral energy distributions give temperature measurements Near-IR observations can penetrate reflective atmospheres for mapping

Dealing with Infrared Longer wavelengths Atmospheric emission and absorption Instrument emission

Dealing with Infrared Longer wavelengths  Lower resolution for a given aperture Atmospheric emission and absorption Instrument emission

Dealing with Infrared Longer wavelengths  Lower resolution for a given aperture Atmospheric emission and absorption  Difficult or impossible from Earth Instrument emission

Dealing with Infrared Longer wavelengths  Lower resolution for a given aperture Atmospheric emission  Difficult or impossible from Earth Instrument emission  Must cool the whole box

Dealing with Infrared Instrument emission  Must cool the whole box

IR Detectors Will discuss 2 types:  Solid State  Thermopile There are others, don't worry about them:  Bolometer  Heterodyne

Solid State Infrared Detectors

Bolometers Absorb photons, thermometers measure temperature Broadband sensitivity

Thermopiles Collection of thermocouples sensitive to temperature change Consistent response with wavelength

Heterodyne Detectors

Types of Spectrographs Grating spectrographs (Ben covered these) Fourier Transform spectrographs  Michelson Interferometer  wavelength changes over time  Fabry-Perot Interferometer / Etalon  Multiple internal reflections -> very sharp fringes Heterodyne Detectors  Highest resolution  Difficult to make local oscillators in IR

Types of Spectrographs Grating spectrographs (Ben covered these) Fourier Transform spectrographs  Michelson Interferometer Fabry-Perot Interferometer / Etalon Heterodyne Detectors

Diffraction Grating

Michelson Interferometer Broad spectral range with range of resolutions

Fabry-Perot Etalon Very high resolving power ~30000 Most useful for narrow-band spectroscopy

Conceptual Challenge What instrument would you use to determine atmospheric compositions of Earth? Venus? Mercury? Mapping? Things to consider:  Atmosphere type  Temperature of planet  What else?

Conceptual Challenge ✔ 2 thermopile detectors for long wavelengths ✔ 2 solid-state HgCdTe detectors for short wavelengths ✗ Budget cuts mean you have to lose one

Cassini CIRS

The Instruments CIRS: Beamsplitter Two interferometers 1 point-like FP 2 linear array FPs VIMS: Two-telescope (f/3.2, 23cm f/3.5) Two Grating Spectrometers Visual CCD 256 elements linear array IR

CIRS and VIMS Specs

Spectral Response Comparison CIRS: FP1: Thermopile FP3: Photovoltaic HgCdTe FP4: Photoconductive HgCdTe VIMS: InSb array

Fields of View

CIRS pointing, VIMS mapping CIRS: Atmospheric Composition Temperature Distribution VIMS: Surface composition Surface features

Why CIRS?

CIRS vs VIMS mapping

Science Results: Jupiter
