Benefits of Temperature Controlled DLATGS Detector

Introduction

The Shimadzu IRSpirit launched recently is a compact Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer characterized by the highest signal to noise ratio and the highest maximum resolution in its class. The dimensions of the body are W376 × D250 × H183 mm and less than A3 in size. The IRSpirit adopts a unique design which allows not only lateral installation but also longitudinal installation so that it can be installed in a narrow space in width. The IRSpirit also has another feature that it can mount the existing accessories such as a single reflection type attenuated total reflection attachment and a diffuse reflection attachment and the commercially available accessories in addition to the accessories for the transmission measurement such as a demountable cell and a KBr pellet holder. The IRSpirit is comprised of two models according to a using infrared detector. One is the IRSpirit-T mounting a DLATGS detector and the other is the IRSpirit-L mounting a LiTaO3 detector. Of them, a DLATGS detector is a high performance one with temperature control capability and can minimize harmful effects on the measurement caused by temperature change in the measurement environment. This article introduces the usefulness of temperature control for a DLATGS detector showing the actual measurement results.
