Rapid Scanning Infrared/Near Infrared Spectrometer

En'Urga Inc. under a Phase I and II SBIR grant from the National institutes of Standards and Technology developed a 2-D imaging spectrometer.  The spectrometer obtains mid infrared spectra from a linear object from 1.3 to 4.8 microns.  As a demonstration of the feasibility of the system, path-integrated spectral radiation intensities were obtained along the radial direction from a laminar hydrocarbon diffusion flame.  The spectra were deconvoluted to provide the local gas species concentrations and temperatures. 

The algorithm was susbsequently licensed to AMETEK Aerospace Products Inc. for development into a turbine inlet gas temperature sensor.  A new company, Spectraline Inc. was formed to commercialize the 2-D imaging spectrometer.
