Comparison of near-infrared transmittance and reflectance measurements using dispersive and Fourier transform spectrophotometers

چکیده
A spectrophotometer based on an integrating sphere coupled to a commercial Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) instrument has been constructed for regular spectral transmittance and re ectance measurements over the 1 m m to 18 m m wavelength region. Despite the large number of sources of error that often limit the radiometric accuracy of FTIR measurements, we demonstrate uncertainties similar to established dispersive instrumentation. We performed near-normal-incidence re ectance and transmittance measurements on a series of samples over the 1 m m to 2.5 m m wavelength range using both FTIR and dispersive spectrophotometers. The results are compared, taking into account any differences in measurement geometry among the various systems and the combined measurement uncertainty. We nd agreement within the combined uncertainties over most of the measured spectral region.

We have been successful in adapting Fourier transform (FT) Raman accessories and spectrophotometers for sensitive measurements of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of photovoltaic materials and devices. In many cases, the sensitivity of the FT technique allows rapid room-temperature measurements of weak luminescence spectra that cannot be observed using dispersive PL spectrophotometers. We pre...

We have investigated the ordinate scale accuracy of ambient temperature transmittance measurements made with a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrophotometer over the wavelength range of 2-10 mum. Two approaches are used: (1) measurements of Si wafers whose index of refraction are well known from 2 to 5 mum, in which case the FT-IR result is compared with calculated values; (2) comparison...
