Thermal Infrared Light Source

High-temperature mid-infrared (MIR) light sources are relatively cheap and require only simple electronics; they emit light of high power and are stable and robust. However, due to the nature of the warm emitter, the light is incoherent and emitted in all directions, which makes it difficult to guide and focus the light onto a sample with high intensity.

NLIR’s fiber-coupled MIR light source makes it easy to bring MIR light to a sample either by positioning the fiber tip close to the sample or by using one of the many commercially available fiber-probes.

The light source is plug-and-play, turns on in a few seconds, and is actively cooled so that no parts are too warm to touch.
