Transmission infrared spectroscopy consists in sending light into a sample and collecting the signal after its interaction with the probed medium. It applies mostly to liquids and gases, but can also be used for thin films or even to characterize optical components (filters, coating, etc.)

Optical fibers are a versatile tool for infrared spectroscopy, as they offer unmatched flexibility compared to a free-space system, either in the form of a simple patchcord or in a more complex bundle (probe) for dedicated applications.

Diffuse reflectance is a widespread spectroscopy technique to characterize solid samples, such as powders, minerals, plastics and many more. Arcoptix offers a wide choice of accessories for measuring DR in the NIR or the MIR.

Gas spectroscopy has proved deeply useful in a large variety of applications such as monitoring of ambient air or exhaust gas, process control in chemical industry, agriculure and many more. Arcoptix offers a compact, rugged and highly stable platform for gas monitoring applications.

While mostly used for infrared spectroscopy, Arcoptix' FTIRs are the perfect tool for characterizing various light sources, such as thermal emitters or lasers (CW or pulsed).

Owing to its small form factor and stability, our FT-IR system is well suited for geology applications, and can be configured for outdoor or in-lab measurements of minerals. Arcoptix offers a wide portfolio of accessories and software solutions dedicated to mineral identification and geology applications in general.
