MR Series FT-Spectroradiometers
For Radiometric Accuracy and Rapid Event Infrared Signature
Whether your applications call for a simple spectroradiometer or for a sophisticated optical measurement system, MR300 and MR170 instruments are a sound investment.
Superior performance with rapidly evolving targets
FT-spectroradiometry has been established as an ideal technique for military target characterization, atmospheric composition, meteorological sounding and chemical agent detection. The MR Series spectroradiometers have earned an excellent reputation based on exceptionally high radiometric reproducibility, wavelength accuracy, sensitivity, and spectral resolution.
The MR300 Series was designed for very high sensitivity, superior time resolution and high homogeneity of response across its field of view. The low Noise Equivalent Spectral Radiance (NESR), combined with the fast scanning rate of acquisition and a stable instrument response function, allow the accurate measurement of low-emission and rapidly evolving targets. It is possible to obtain the precise IR signature of a target without compromising on time resolution. The MR300 Series is also a first-rate tool for the detection of toxic and pollutant gases.
The MR300 Series provides excellent field-of-view uniformity for improved measurement accuracy, whether the target is centered on the field of view or close to the edge. Its modular design and small footprint make it well suited for airborne applications, use on tracking systems or in other restricted areas.
The MR170 Series was designed with comprehensive time resolution and high sensitivity to meet the challenging demand of Atmospheric measurements, IR characterization of stable or relatively slow evolving targets and the detection of toxic and pollutant gases. The MR170 provides a sound Radiometric solution at a comprehensive price.
Superior design
Robustness and durability differentiate the MR series spectroradiometers from other FT-IR spectroradiometers. Their most remarkable characteristic lies in their outstanding mechanical stability. The unique, patented rotary scanning mechanism uses frictionless flex-pivots and corner-cube-reflectors. The interferometer design has been proven with more then 3600 units produced and over 400 billions of scan cycles successfully achieved. The permanently aligned interferometer shows both outstanding stability of radiometric response and high reliability. Since it is balanced with respect to its center of rotation, the MR interferometer can be operated in any orientation.
Unlike filter spectroradiometers, which select spectral frequencies using optical filters, the MR300 instruments record the full spectral range measurable by the detector each time spectral data is acquired. No hardware modifications or changes in the optics are required.
The MR300 and MR170 features computer controlled adjustable spectral resolution up to 1 cm-1 over its full spectral range as well as adjustable gains. The FTSW500 Radiometric Software allows easy instrument control and data acquisition through a 100 Mbit Ethernet link. FTSW500 provides all functionalities for data management and calibration.
