| Current Development | |
|---|---|
| HISPEC | High resolution Infrared Spectrograph for Exoplanet Characterization. HISPEC is a diffraction-limited, fiber-fed high-resolution infrared spectrograph covering the y to K band spectral range in one shot (0.98 to 2.46 microns). It is being bulit for the Keck II Telescope on Maunakea, Hawaii. |
| IRIS | Infrared Imaging Spectrograph. Combined high resolution imager and integral-field spectrometer. First light instrument for the Thirty Meter Telescope project. |
| LIGER | Next generation near-infrared integral field spectrograph for the Keck Observatory. |
