Application of Photoconductor Physical Transient Model to Fourier Transform Spectrometer Data of AKARI/Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS)

Coulais, A.; Takahashi, H.; Okada, Y. +8 more

AKARI carries on board the Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) with the gallium-doped germanium (Ge:Ga) photoconductor arrays of the far-infrared surveyor (FIS). Ge:Ga photoconductors are the most sensitive detectors for far-infrared satellite instruments. However, the performance of these detectors is known to be severely influenced by undesirab…
