Abstract

The present invention relates to an FTIR spectrometer comprising a single-element detector to analyze a detector light beam emitted by a sample, with a unit to digitize the voltage available at the detector output and with a unit to process the digitized voltage. The single-element detector and the dedicated unit to digitize the detector voltage are located immediately adjacent to each other.
