IR spectroscopy with a resolution ⋋/△⋋ ≳ 10, 000 is a powerful technique for the investigation of short-periodic giant extra-solar planets. For an unambiguous direct detection attempt one exploits the large-amplitude Doppler modulation of the planet's IR spectrum. A successful measurement of the planet's radial velocity amplitude would yield directly the planet-star mass ratio. Spectral information can be extracted if high per-pixel S/N levels are achieved.
