Introduction

FTIR Rocket with TE or LN2 cooling MCT detector

The ARCoptix FTIR "Rocket" offers high resolution and sensitivity thanks to its 4 stage thermoelectrically cooled MCT (Mercury-Cadmium-Telluride) detector. Its permanently aligned interferometer and its solid-state reference laser ensure the highest performance at every scan. The system displays excellent stability in both wavelength and intensity scales, which makes it an ideal tool for highly reproducible chemometric analysis. The FTIR " Rocket" is also used by many of our customers for characterization of infrared lasers, including pulses sources with repetion rate >10 kHz.

The FTIR Rocket can accommodate various detectors, each displaying specific characteristics. Besides pryoelectric detectors (DLATGS), we offer a selection of thermoelectrically cooled (TEC) MCT detectors that enable achieving unprecented performances while keeping the instrument extremely compact. The FTIR Rocket can also be mounted with a liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooled MCT detector for demanding applications that require high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or specific setups with very low optical throughput. In its standard configuration, the FTIR Rocket can reach a resolution of 2cm-1 while our high resolution modules (available on request) can deliver up to 0.5cm-1.
