FTIR / NIR – spectrometer

Function

The FT- Rocket series, the third generation of miniature Fourier Transform IR spectrometers, are based on the principle of a self-compensating interferometer. This means that off-axis movements due to vibrations or temperature variations are compensated by the two interferometer arms. The optical path difference (path difference) remains unchanged and allows an exact measurement even in a difficult measuring environment.

As with all interferometers, a single-element detector (InGaAs), is used as the detector meaning that the FT-NIR spectrometers are not only a cost-effective alternative to our grating NIR spectrometers, but also opens-up applications that were previously reserved for complex and expensive laboratory systems.

As in the previous model, the FT- Rocket spectrometers use a reference solid-state laser, which guarantees excellent stability and wavelength reproducibility. The FT-NIR Rocket spectrometer has a SMA fiber input, which makes it ideal for fibre-based measurements. For a complete measurement setup, our technical teams can offer not only fibers and sample holders but also NIR light sources or integrating spheres with integrated light source for measuring diffuse reflection.

The spectrometers are delivered with a free Windows software and API (for integration into your own software).
