Abstract:
The Short-Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) is one of the four instruments
on-board ESA's Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), launched on November
17, 1995. The spectrometer covers the wavelength range of 2.38 to
45.2 
m with a spectral resolution ranging from 1000 to 2000. By
inserting Fabry-Perot filters the resolution can be enhanced by a factor
20 for the wavelength range from 11.4 to 44.5 m. An overview is given
of the instrument, its in-orbit calibration, performance, observing
modes and off-line processing software.
