*Available Modes [#wfb2ef48]
Available spectroscopic modes are listed in the table below. To avoid saturation due to the strong emission from the diamond window, an ND filter with OD=2 is needed for observations in the LM band.

|Name  |Wavelength &br; range (um)|Resolving &br; power|Note|h
|KL    |2.0-4.0                   |210            ||
|2.7-um|2.40-2.98                 |660            ||
|LM+ND2|2.7-5.6                   |200            |ND2 means a ND filter with OD=2|

*Saturation limit [#u11f75f5]
Saturation limits depend on wavelength as shown in the figures below, and the typical levels are summarized in the following table. In the water-vapor-absorbing bands, the saturation limits vary with PWV.

|Saturation limit of the KL band mode.|Saturation limit of the 2.7um band mode.|Saturation limit of the LM+ND2 band mode.|

|Name|Saturation limit|h
|KL    |7 Jy|
|2.7-um|20 Jy|
|LM+ND2|400 Jy|

*Sensitivity [#n2b38c0f]
1-sigma 1-sec sensitivity is shown in the figures below. Since the sensitivity is limited by readout noise (assumed 100e^/read), it improves with longer 1-frame exposure times. In water-vapor-absorbing bands, it also depends on PWV. The truncation on the right edge shows the saturated region with the corresponding exposure time. The LM-mode sensitivity is significantly worse due to the ND filters and the strong absorption of the diamond window.
