Abstract

This paper describes a technique used for measuring monochromator characteristics in the near IR. It is shown that with an interferometer spectrophotometer, one can obtain parameters such as stray light, efficiency, resolution, bandwidth, and accuracy of wavelength readout. The advantage of this technique is simplicity and speed in data gathering.
