Abstract

The attainable efficiency of an accessory for diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy where both the irradiation and detection optics are located on the same side of the sample is analyzed, the size-dependent noise level of the detector being taken into account. The resulting figures of merit are found to reach up to more than 0.3, when standard detectors of 60° field-of-view are considered.
