Abstract

An innovative rapid scan monochromator so far routinely utilized in the visible wavelength range has been shown to be adaptable to the near infrared spectral region, as well. The number of optical and mechanical components is reduced to a minimum resulting in excellent light-throughput, a low stray-light level, low cost, compactness and rigidity. The spectrometer has been designed to allow all kinds of spectral measurements such as absorption, transmission, fluorescence and reflection in a single beam mode. A computer-program allowing data acquisition, control and calibration functions as well as real time averaging and life display of spectra on the computer screen has been developed.
