Abstract

Advances in far infrared astronomy have been, and will be, defined by instrument capabilities. Especially relevant is the development of imaging spectrometers for the wavelength range of 0.03-3 mm, which are not available at all at this moment. We will discuss recent advances in this field: First, we discuss the development of miniature on-chip spectrometers, that can operate in a 0.09-1 THz by using lossless superconducting circuits to create miniature spectrometers. For higher frequencies this is not possible due to material limitations, moreover instruments have to be operated in space due to the opacity of the atmosphere. Recent proposals for new missions focus on space-based observatories with optics cooled down to 4K, which offer unprecedented spectral imaging speeds, but require large arrays of extremely sensitive detectors. In the second part of this paper we will discuss the development of microwave Kinetic Inductance detectors with a sensitivity of NEP. 3.1.10-20 W/ãHz, sufficient for these applications.
