FTIR spectrometer with solid-state drive system

Patent ·
OSTI ID:20013989
An FTIR spectrometer and method are disclosed that use a solid-state drive system with thermally responsive members that are subject to expansion upon heating and to contraction upon cooling. Such members are assembled in the device so as to move an angled, reflective surface a small distance. The sample light beam is received at a detector along with a reference light beam and there it is combined into a resulting signal. This allows the ``interference'' between the two beams to occur for spectral analysis by a processor.
