How does it work?
Using NLIR’s spectrometer for plastic identification is straightforward. Just set up your devices, power our software, and get measurement data as you go.
Experience our breakthrough technology
The NLIR spectrometer measures spectra in only milliseconds. 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’s spectrometers use detector arrays with 2048 pixels, so the resolution can be as low as 2.5 cm⁻¹ in a wide optical bandwidth.
NLIR’s spectrometers are so fast because they use an array detector that can read out data with 400 Hz and even up to 130 kHz.
The NLIR Spectrometers are based on a novel measurement technology that upconverts the MIR light to near-visible light. The near-visible light can then be detected by silicon-based CMOS detector arrays.
