FTS6000 Technical Specification

The FTS 6000 Spectrometer is a high performance research grade multi-range FT-IR spectrometer capable of both rapid scan and step scan operation, covering the spectral range 11,000-400 cm^-1. Its high quality 60^o Michelson air bearing piezoscan interferometer features piezoelectric-based continuous dynamic alignment (which simultaneously maximizes the spectral throughput and minimizes the noise in their measurements) and an interchangeable beamsplitter (with KBr and quartz beamsplitters available for the mid IR and near IR respectively). The piezoscan interferometer is capable of spectral resolution down to 0.075 cm^-1. By using two high wattage water-cooled sources (a standard ceramic source for the mid IR and a Tungsten Halogen source for the near IR) and a two-inch clear aperture through the interferometer, it focuses more than 150 mW of infrared power at the sample. This amount of infrared power is typically more than four times higher than systems based on air-cooled sources and 90^o interferometers. It also utilises a patented in-scan co-adding (providing effective 22 bit A/D operation). The result is excellent signal-to-noise performance for low energy applications and enhanced sensitivity.
