Abstract :
The optical design of a new high-resolution Fourier Transform infrared Spectrometer (FTS) is described. The FTS is dedicated to ground-based atmospheric measurements from Toronto, Canada. The solar absorption observation geometry and measurement parameters are presented. Finally, instrument performance is discussed in terms of instrumental line shape (ILS) and baseline stability.
