A Simple Grating Spectrometer for the Infrared

Abstract

This paper describes a simple and relatively inexpensive modification of the Perkin-Elmer Model 112 spectrometer for use as a grating instrument. The grating spectrometer has been used to 180 cm⁻¹ wavenumbers in single-pass operation and in double-pass use data have been obtained to 260 cm⁻¹. The wavenumber spread at 200 cm⁻¹ was about 1.5 cm⁻¹; this is gratifying in that the original thermocouple detector was used.
