Experience unprecedented technology
The NLIR Spectrometers are based on a patented upconversion technology that converts MIR light to near-visible light. The near-visible light can then be detected by silicon-based CMOS detector arrays. This approach brings NIR possibilities to MIR field offering endless measurement possibilities.
NLIR spectrometers can acquire spectra in milliseconds, providing faster data collection compared to FTIR spectrometers.
The integration time can vary from 100s of ms down to 11 µs depending on the need. The external trigger can be used to capture data at the right time in order to optimize monitoring speed.
NLIR spectrometers have no moving parts and are therefore tolerant to vibrations, making them suitable for industrial environments where mechanical stability can be a challenge.
By converting mid-infrared light to near-visible light, NLIR spectrometers utilize uncooled silicon-based sensors, eliminating the need for cryocooling systems.
This approach mitigates the thermal noise that typically limits infrared measurements, enabling you to conduct a wide range of measurements with ease.
The uncooled NLIR detectors are at least as sensitive as cryocooled detectors but offers superior speed without the complexity and cost of cooling systems.
Check out the specifications of the 2.0-5.0 µm Spectrometer for details.
By converting mid-infrared light to near-visible light, NLIR spectrometers leverage uncooled silicon-based sensors, reducing the need for specialized infrared detectors which saves up space in your research place.
Our 2.0-5.0 µm Spectrometer is very compact, its size reaching only 30.6cm x 20 cm x 10cm.
Due to a small size and absence of cryocooling detectors, you can bring our spectrometer closer to your production line and perform various inline, online, or atline measurements at various settings.
