NLIR’s Mid-Infrared spectrometer for demanding applications
NLIR’s mid-infrared (Mid-IR) spectrometers and detectors are recognised for their exceptional speed, sensitivity, and responsivity, making them a standout choice for demanding applications. Among these, the NLIR upconverter spectrometer is being deployed in areas such as inline plastic characterisation, inspection of optical coatings, and, real-time industrial process monitoring.
The NLIR solution is based on the innovative upconversion of mid-infrared light to near-infrared (NIR) light, which is then detected using high-speed CMOS detectors. This approach leverages the well-established performance of CMOS technology while eliminating the need for active cooling typically required by traditional Mid-IR detectors. This significantly reduces the system’s complexity, cost, and maintenance requirements while maintaining high performance.
For inline process control, the spectrometer can be seamlessly integrated with a Mid-IR light source and fiber-optic accessories, such as attenuated total reflection (ATR) probes or reflection probes. This combination enables ultra-sensitive and rapid measurements of liquids and polymers directly in industrial settings. The system’s ability to deliver real-time data with high accuracy and sensitivity makes it invaluable for monitoring critical parameters such as chemical composition, concentration, and material properties during production.
Additionally, the NLIR technology’s capacity to operate at high speeds ensures compatibility with fast-moving production lines, supporting applications in fields like chemical manufacturing, polymer processing, and quality assurance. This advanced spectrometer not only enhances process efficiency but also facilitates early detection of anomalies, leading to improved product quality and reduced waste.
