Modulators transmittance spectra

Smaller values of are obtained for interferometers operated in a double-beam mode, since the moveable mirror must be left stationary for a fraction of the cycle time to allow the detector to stabilize each time the beam is switched from the sample to the reference position. With an optical null grating spectrometer the chopper is used not only to modulate the beam but also to alternate the beam between sample and reference channels. Thus, it takes approximately the same time to measure a transmittance spectrum using a double beam optical null spectrometer as it takes to measure a single-beam spectrum with the same S/R. Hence, for this type of spectrometer may be assigned a value of 2.

Polyaniline films have not only been shown to exhibit electrochromism in the visible region, but also in the microwave and far-IR regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. A polyaniline film doped with camphorsulfonic add and incorporated into a sohd state microwave shutter demonstrated that the transmittance and reflectance of X-band microwave energy could be modulated [6]. At a wavelength of 10 GHz, the shutter could be switched between 4.8% transmission when the polymer is oxidized and 42% transmission when the polymer is neutral. When utilized in a reflective device configuration in combination with poly(diphenylamine), polyamline yields a high reflective modulation in the far-IR [119,120]. This device shows a reflectance contrast of 53% at 10.5 p,m, 28% at 16.5 p,m, and 46% at 620 nm. 

Some of these problems can be overcome by quickly switching, or hopping, the friendly carrier frequency over a wide band. This is the fundamental concept behind frequency-hopped spread spectrum systems, as shown in Fig. 12.73. A number of excellent texts discuss this topic such as Sklar (1988) Peterson, Ziemer, and Borth (1995) and Simon et al. (1985). The system design is very similar to conventional NB systems. The only modification to the transmitter is that the conventional fixed frequency oscillator is replaced by a variable frequency oscillator that can change frequency very quickly under electronic control. In Fig. 12.73 the message source and variable frequency oscillator are fed into a DSB modulator (a simple multiplier), although any form of NB modulation can be used. The oscillator frequency used at any instant in time is... 

The spectrum analyzer is also well-suited for making accurate transmitter FM deviation measurements. This is accomphshed using the Bessel null method. The Bessel null is a mathematical function that describes the relationship between spectral lines in frequency modulation. The Bessel null technique is highly accurate it forms the basis for modulation monitor calibration. The concept behind the Bessel null method is to drive the carrier spectral line to zero by changing the modulating frequency. When the carrier amphtude is zero, the modulation index is given by a Bessel function. Deviation can be calculated from... 

The best method of determining a spectrum of a solid is to make use of an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessory. Modem FT-IR instruments now offer this accessory along with the typical transmittance module. The ATR method provides a powerful sampling technique that virtually eliminates sample preparation with both liquids and solids, thus leading to rapid analysis of samples. Although manufacturers offer multiple crystal options, the diamond ATR offers the best option for maximum durability in the organic chemistry laboratory. With the ATR accessory, one...
