Abstract :
The laboratory development of spatial/spectral interferometry for use in Far-IR space-based applications is discussed in the context of recent Far-Infrared Space Interferometer Critical Assessment (FISICA) efforts. Far-infrared spatial/spectral interferometry techniques will provide the combined spatial and spectral resolution required by the next generation of astronomical Far-IR instruments.
