[PP1-5-9] Elements of the theory of diffraction and grating spectrometers

Diffraction gratings and dispersive element are the basic ingredients for radiometers and grating spectrometers. They are in some cases preferred to Interferometer systems because the optical layouts can be designed and implemented with no moving part or components. Many of the today satellite instruments, including sounder and imagers, rely on diffraction and/or grating spectrometers
