The Infrared Camera (IRC) is one of the two instruments on board the AKARI satellite. In addition to deep imaging from 1.8 to 26.5 mu m for the pointed observation mode of the AKARI, it has a spectroscopic capability in its spectral range. By replacing the imaging filters by transmission-type dispersers on the filter wheels, it provides low-resolution (lambda/delta lambda similar to 20-120) spectroscopy with slits, or in a wide imaging field-of-view (approximately 10' x 10'). The IRC spectroscopic mode is unique for space infrared missions in that it has the capability to perform sensitive wide-field spectroscopic surveys in the near- and mid-infrared wavelength ranges. This paper describes the specifications of the IRC spectrograph and its in-orbit performance.
