Sm. Alawi et al., CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF AN INFRARED LINEAR-ARRAY SPECTROMETER FOR TIME-RESOLVED INFRARED-SPECTROSCOPY, Applied spectroscopy, 47(10), 1993, pp. 1626-1630
An infrared spectrometer is described which uses a 32-element InSb lin
ear array detector. The infrared linear array (IRLA) spectrometer coll
ects infrared spectra with a spectral width of 0.50 mum every 16 mus.
The performance of the IRLA spectrometer is characterized with respect
to signal-to-noise ratio, spectral resolution, time resolution, and i
nstrumental line shape. The IRLA spectrometer is used to collect the t
ime-resolved infrared spectra following 193-nm irradiation of a soluti
on of Mo(CO)6 in hexane.
