Recent developments in near infrared detectors and electronic                   readouts allow improvements in the sensitivity of near infrared                 spectrometers by nearly a factor of 100.  Under this award, two                 instruments will be built to realize this advance, one at ambient               temperature and the other cooled cryogenically.  Together, the                  instruments should operate at the back-ground limit set by OH                   (Hydroxide) airflow or telescope thermal emission from                          1 to 2.5 microns; these are the fundamental limits to the                       sensitivity in this spectral region.  The extension of the                      operating range to 6 microns will be investigated.                                                                                                              The spectrometers will provide versatile capabilities for studies               of the surfaces of planets and satellites in the outer solar                    system, low luminosity stars, brown dwarfs, star formation,                     processes in the interstellar medium, our Galactic                              Center, stellar populations in other galaxies, star formation in                starburst galaxies, and the state of the gas in active galaxy                   nuclei.
