Abstract

The instrumentation associated with the 100-foot absorption cell of the Johns Hopkins University has been completely redesigned in order to make direct ratio-recording with good accuracy and improved resolution possible in the near (1 μ–25 μ) and intermediate (25 μ–50 μ) infrared spectral regions. In this new system the sample beam flux F_s transmitted through the absorption cell is automatically compared with the flux F_r in a by-passed reference beam and the instrumental comparison response, suitably corrected, is recorded as percent transmission. The new instrumentation includes a Czerny-Turner type grating spectrometer with which it is possible to record successive long path transmission spectra agreeing to about 2% and having a resolution of about 4 cm⁻¹ at 30 microns.
