Expand Your Spectral Reach: MIR Data, VIS/NIR Performance

Combine Avantes VIS/NIR spectrometers with the NLIR SPEKTRUM Wavelength Converter to convert broad-range mid-infrared (1.9–5.3 µm) data into the visible/NIR range (682–886 nm) for high-speed detection.

The Challenge — Make MIR Accessible

Context:
Mid-infrared wavelengths contain rich chemical information but require specialized and expensive detectors to measure directly. Traditional MIR detectors can be slow, costly, and less sensitive than visible-range alternatives.

Solution Intro:
The NLIR SPEKTRUM Wavelength Converter translates broad-range MIR wavelengths into the visible/NIR spectrum, enabling detection using common Si or GaAs sensors found in Avantes spectrometers — no specialized MIR detector needed.

How It Works — Simple, Powerful Integration

Step-by-Step Visual:

  1. MIR Source: Light from your MIR measurement setup enters SPEKTRUM (1.9–5.3 µm). NLIR

  2. Broadband Conversion: SPEKTRUM upconverts all wavelengths in this range at once to 682–886 nm with no scanning parts required. NLIR

  3. Avantes Detection: The converted light is fed into an Avantes VIS/NIR spectrometer via fiber, where familiar software captures and analyzes the data.

 

Key Benefits

✔ Extend Existing Spectrometers:
Read MIR signals using your Avantes VIS/NIR systems — no need to invest in separate MIR detectors. NLIR

✔ Broadband, Instant Conversion:
SPEKTRUM converts the entire 1.9–5.3 µm range simultaneously into 682–886 nm without scanning, enabling real-time measurement workflows. NLIR

✔ High Speed & Real-Time Capable:
Unlike many traditional MIR systems, conversion output can be analyzed at VIS/NIR detector speeds, ideal for dynamic process monitoring. NLIR

✔ No Alignment or Tuning Needed:
The integrated converter requires no optical alignment — just fiber-in, fiber-out connectivity.
