The spectrometer filtering and beam-dividing scheme is summarised in Table 4-5. The first two filters are<br />

shared with the photometer, and the remaining ones are placed over the arrays. The beam splitters are<br />

designed to have near 50% transmitivity (T) and reflectivity (R) over the FTS spectral range. The beam<br />

splitter efficiencies as viewed by the two detector arrays are 4RT and R 2 + T 2 , both of which should be close<br />

to 100%.<br />
