Block Model 500

Block Engineering’s Model 500 Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometers provide a unique capability for remote passive data collection.

These sensors are man-portable self contained instruments including on-board data collection and data storage. The Model 500 can simultaneously collect FTIR, FLIR, Video, GPS, and Meteorological information. The operator only needs to provide power which can be from a remote power supply or an optional battery pack.

The Model 500 can be optimized to collect spectroradiometric data in either the 1.5 to 5.5 µm or the 7 to 14 µm spectral band. HgCdTe or InSb detectors are available cooled to 80K by either LN₂ or an integral Stirling cooler.

Spectral resolutions are operator selectable from 2 cm^-1 to 16 cm^-1 with scan rates ranging from 2 to over 50 scans per second.

Typical Applications

• Remote Chemical Detection and Analysis
• Treaty Verification
• Pollution Monitoring
• Airborne Measurements
