ALTIUS: a spaceborne AOTF-based UV-VIS-NIR hyperspectral imager for atmospheric remote sensing

Abstract: Since the recent losses of several atmospheric instruments with good vertical sampling capabilities (SAGE II, SAGE III, GOMOS, SCIAMACHY, MIPAS), the scientific community is left with very few sounders delivering concentration profiles of key atmospheric species for understanding atmospheric processes and monitoring the Earth's radiative balance. The situation is so critical that, less than five such instruments will be on duty (most probably only 2 or 3) at the horizon 2020, whereas their number topped more t… Show more

“…The goal of the ALTIUS-instrument is to make hyper spectral images of the limb of the earth. To do this, the instrument will use different observation techniques such as "direct limb viewing", "stellar occultation" as well as "solar occultation" [1].…”

“…Recently acoustooptic (AO) properties of KDP have attracted considerable attention associated with its utilization as a material for tunable AO filters [9][10][11][12], including those that work in the ultraviolet region. The devices of this type are used in many branches of technology and science, in particular in the LIDAR systems for monitoring ozone layer state and atmosphere pollution level [13][14][15][16][17].…”
