Up to this time infrared spectroscopy has been only occasionally used in binary star research due to both the insensitivity of infrared spectrographs and the difficulty of getting observing time on a limited number of spectrographs. However, infrared spectroscopy has a number of interesting applications in binary star research. We present an example of an application to the long-period symbiotic system CH Cyg. Due to the recent development of infrared arrays, infrared spectroscopy (1) is becoming available at a much larger number of telescopes and (2) in the 1.0-2.5 μm region is capable of going to limiting magnitudes nearly as faint as those reached by CCD’s.
