Abstract

We present the design and performance of a cryogenic, angle-scanned Fabry-Pérot interferometer for far infrared astronomical spectroscopy. Novel features of the design are discussed, and the spectral response of the instrument is modeled. Experimental methods being developed to validate the spectral response are presented.
