The large-scale structure of high-redshift galaxies produces correlated anisotropy in the far-infrared background (FIRB). In regions of the sky where the thermal emission from Galactic dust is well below average, these high-redshift correlations may be the most significant source of angular fluctuation power over a wide range of angular scales, from similar to7' to similar to3 degrees, and frequencies, from similar to 400 to similar to 1000 GHz. The strength of this signal should allow detailed studies of the statistics of the FIRB fluctuations, including the shape of the angular power spectrum at a given frequency and the degree of coherence between FIRB maps at different frequencies. The FIRB correlations depend on and hence constrain the redshift-dependent spectral energy distributions, number counts, and clustering bias of the galaxies and active nuclei that contribute to the background. We quantify the accuracy to which Planck and a newly proposed balloon-borne mission, Explorer of Diffuse Galactic Emissions, could constrain models of the high-redshift universe through the measurement of FIRB fluctuations. We conclude that the average bias of high-redshift galaxies could be measured to an accuracy of less than or similar to 1% or, for example, separated into four redshift bins with similar to 10% accuracy.
