Up to 130 kHz full-spectrum readout rate
-80 dBm/nm sensitivity.
Fiber-coupled input
Plug-n-play
Developers in both industry and research use mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometers for non-invasive characterization of gases, liquids, and solids as well as characterization of light sources. The NLIR 2.0 – 5.0 µm Spectrometer (S2050-400/S2050-130k) is based on a novel measurement scheme that upconverts the MIR light to near-visible light. Silicon-based near-visible light detectors are far superior to MIR light detectors in terms of detectivity, speed, and noise. The NLIR upconversion technology, therefore, brings these attractive features and the advantages that follow, to the MIR regime.
Both editions seen below have sensitivities at -80 dBm/nm or better, and the maximum full-spectrum readout rate is 130 kHz! As a result, the spectrometer enables the characterization of light sources and measuring spectral content from chemical processes with a time resolution of less than 10 µs.
Two application examples
Demo 1: Measuring liquid content with a mid-infrared fiber probe
How?
By using NLIR‘s S2050 mid-infrared spectrometer, you can get fast response and accurate resolution such that you can monitor liquid content in real-time.
Demo 2: Capturing 80.000 mid-infrared spectra per second.
How?
NLIR‘s kHz-rate spectrometer can upconvert mid-IR light to near visible wavelengths. This means that you can benefit from CMOS technology to capture the photons.
