Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ATR spectrometer for analysing the chemical composition of a sample and a method for analysing the chemical composition of a sample by means of the ATR
  • a chemical composition of a sample can be analysed by means of infrared spectroscopy.
  • the infrared spectroscopy can be
  • the infrared spectroscopy can be any infrared spectrometer in which the sample is irradiated by broadband infrared light emitted by an infrared light source and an extinction spectrum of the sample is measured after the infrared light has passed through the sample.
  • the infrared spectroscopy can be any infrared spectroscopy.
  • Both the extinction spectrum and the ATR spectrum comprise a wavelength dependent measurement of the extinction of the sample, i.e. a measurement of the attenuation of the light after interaction with the sample.
  • the extinction comprises an absorption component and a scattering component, i.e.
  • extinction ( ⁇ ) absorption ( ⁇ ) +scattering ( ⁇ ) , wherein ⁇ is the wavelength, extinction ( ⁇ ) is the extinction spectrum, absorption ( ⁇ ) is the absorption component of the extinction spectrum and scattering ( ⁇ ) is the scattering component of the extinction spectrum.
  • ⁇ is the wavelength
  • extinction ( ⁇ ) is the extinction spectrum
  • absorption ( ⁇ ) is the absorption component of the extinction spectrum
  • scattering ( ⁇ ) is the scattering component of the extinction spectrum.
  • the ATR spectrometer is advantageous in comparison to the extinction spectrometer if the sample contains water, since the peak related to water is less prominent in the ATR spectrum than in the extinction spectrum, whereby the peak related to water covers less other peaks in the ATR spectrum than in the extinction spectrum.
  • the intensity of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source is temporally fluctuating, this results also in fluctuating intensities in the ATR spectra thereby also reducing their quality.
  • the ATR crystal and a linear variab le filter for passing different portions of the infrared light for measuring the extinction spectra may have limited dimensions which results also in a limited space for arranging detectors of the ATR spectrometer. This limited space for the detectors results either in a low spectral resolution for the ATR spectra or the ATR spectra can only be measured in a narrow spectral range . This also reduces the quality of the ATR spectra.
  • the ATR spectrometer for analysing the chemical composition of a sample comprises an ATR crystal having an entry surface being immediately arranged on an entry end of the ATR crystal and an exit surface being immediately arranged on an exit end of the ATR crysta 1 which is arranged opposite to the entry end, at least one infrared light source being arranged on the entry surface, a line array of infrared light detectors being arranged on the exit surface, at least one single infrared light detector being arranged on the exit surface , wherein the at least one infrared light source is adapted to emit infrared light that enters the ATR crystal via the entry surface and is guided to the infrared light detectors under total internal reflection and under interaction with the sample being arranged immediately adjacent to the ATR crystal, a wavelength dispersive element being arranged in the path of the infrared light from the exit surface to the line array so that the line array is adapted to measure a spectrum of the infrared light, and a wavelength filter being arranged in the path of
  • the infrared light is guided from the exit surface without a redirection to the infrared light detectors. This results advantageously in a simple design of the ATR spectrometer .
  • each of the single infrared detectors has a larger photoactive surface than each of the infrared light detectors of the line array. Therefore, the single infrared light detectors have a higher signal-to-noise ratio than the infrared light detectors of the line array. In case one of the single infrared light detectors is used to measure a part of the ATR spectrum, this part can be- advantageously measured with a high signal-to-noise ratio. Also it is possible to

  • infrared light from the exit surface to the single infrared light detector is preferably a bandpass filter.
  • the spectral resolution for at least one of the single infrared light detectors is preferably higher than for all of the infrared light detectors of the line array. In case this single infrared light detector is used for measuring a part of the ATR
  • the signal correction can be carried out with a higher precision than it is possible with one of the infrared light detectors of the line array due to their lower spectral resolution. In both cases, the large high spectral resolution of the single infrared light detector results in an increased quality of the ATR spectra.
  • the chosen infrared light detectors are wired with all the other infrared light detectors such that during operation of the ATR spectrometer the electrical signals output by the chosen infrared light detectors are subtracted from the electrical signals output by all the other infrared light detectors.
  • the ATR spectrometer is adapted to correct the electrical signals before they are amplified and/or digitized. Also, the correction of the
  • electrical signals is carried out by a hardware rather than by a software which results in an accelerated data processing. Due to the accelerated data processing it is possible to measure ATR spectra with a higher repetition rate . The higher
  • repetition rate allows for more averaging of the ATR spectra which results in an increased quality for the ATR spectra.
  • the correction can for example comprise a subtraction of the signal value output by the chosen infrared light detectors from the signal values of all the other infrared light detectors.
  • the correction can comprise a subtraction of the inverse of the signal value output by the chosen infrared light detectors from the inverse of the signal values of all the other infrared light detectors.
  • the A R spectrometer is preferably adapted to use the electrical signal of a plurality of the chosen infrared light detectors to generate a wavelength dependent function and to correct the electrical signals of all the other infrared light detectors using the wavelength dependent function .

  • the wavelength dependent function is generated by fitting the wavelength dependent function to the inverse of the signal values output by the chosen infrared light detectors and the wavelength dependent function is subtracted from the inverse of the signal values output by all the other infrared light detectors. It is thereby possible to correct not only variations in intensity fluctuations of the infrared light source but also spectral drifts of the infrared light source. This further increases the quality of the ATR spectra.
