Abstract
The history of zodiacal light spectrometry follows faithfully the hist ory of optical detection technology. Each new design effort has result ed in the harnessing of new and more efficient detectors to the proble m, and with each new development the quality of the spectra obtained h as improved. This article traces the development of the technique from its beginnings in the 1950's to the spectrographs of the present day.
