Fourier Transform UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer
Title of project: Fourier Transform UV-Vis-NIR spectrometerCluster: NuclearTechnology Tags or Keywords: spectrometer spectrophotometer material scienceTitle: Fourier Transform UV-Vis-NIR spectrometerSummary: New FT spectrometer is capable to measure in wide spectral rangeTechnology Benefits : Wideband FT spectrometer replaces several analogues by covering its spectral rangesTechnology Applications : Material science, QA, transmission and reflection spectra measurementsDetailed Technology Description: Fourier transform spectrophotometer is based on a Michelson interferometer. Collimated beam of light falls onto the interferometer entrance. Then the beam is split by a beam splitter plate into two beams having approximately equal intensity. After being reflected from mirrors these beams interfere at the interferometer output. At least one mirror in FTS is movable. Special mirror movement control systems provide its periodic movement, moving speed being maintained constant for maximal possible...
