verTera VERTEX 80v cw Terahertz Extension The VERTEX 80v is the gold standard for FTIR spectroscopy in research and development. The unique verTera extension even upgrades the VERTEX 80v to the first and only combined FTIR/continuous wave THz spectrometer with exciting possibilities. Integrated state of the art cw THz technology Spectral range down to 3 cm -1 (< 90 GHz) No cryogenically cooled components Unique effective spectral resolution < 0.0007 cm -1 (< 20 MHz) Same sample compartment & accessories for FTIR and THz Highest THz performance by vacuum & unique THz algorithm FTIR and THz controlled via powerful OPUS software Innovation with Integrity The VERTEX 80v is a powerful FTIR spectrometer also capable to access the THz range (approx. below 50 cm -1), but the single digit wavenumber range or e.g. highest spectral resolution do typically require bolometers at liquid He temperature. THz technology is complementary: it cannot access the important classical infrared range but allows for THz spectroscopy with room temperature components. verTera combines the benefits of both technologies, providing a unique and complete analysis of your samples. verTera makes use of high precision semiconductor based photomixers, converting near infrared laser light into THz radiation. Source and detector are integrated into the VERTEX 80v beam path and the class 1 NIR laser radiation is connected via fiber and vacuum tight feedthrough. Highest THz Performance by Vacuum Vacuum operation strongly reduces unwanted atmospheric interferences and provides utmost stable conditions, resulting in significantly higher THz performance. Highest Resolution by Unique THz Data Processing The standard approach to extract just the extrema of the oscillating photocurrent signal strongly degrades spectral resolution. Only verTera uses a unique algorithm achieving a significantly better effective spectral resolution < 0.0007 cm-1 (< 20 MHz) similar to the applied THz step size.

Spectroscopic Performance Convenient FTIR and cw THz measurements in the same vacuum sample compartment under identical conditions. ATR measurement of Lactose showing the THz advantage of verTera versus FTIR with FIR room temperature detector. One Spectrometer for infrared, THz and more Including verTera extension the VERTEX 80v can in its broadest configuration cover an impressive spectral range from 3 cm -1 to 50,000 cm -1 from THz to UV. verTera is applicable with several THz compatible FTIR sample compartment accessories such as transmittance, gas cells, reflectance and THz compatible...
