Abstract
The requirement for very low distortion in pushbroom imaging spectrometers has been recently recognized. It has been shown that the spectral response function of a pixel must be known with great accuracy.1 A small uncertainty in the location of the peak of this function can lead to significant error in the calculated pixel radiance. A maximum shift of less than 1% of the spectral response function (e.g. 0.1 nm in 10nm halfwidth) has been identified as desirable in order to produce data that are free of significant spectral calibration errors.
