Optical Design of a Novel Wide-Field-of-View Space-Based Spectrometer for Climate Monitoring

We report on a near-infrared imaging spectrometer for sensing the three most prominent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane). The optical design of the spectrometer involves freeform optics, which enables achieving exceptional performance and allows progressing...
