High-Temperature Spectral Database

 

Our laboratory specializes in measuring absorption cross-sections and spectral parameters at high temperatures. We use narrow line-width tunable lasers and high-resolution Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer and different lasers (QCL, DFG lasers ...). Measurements are carried out over a range of temperatures and pressures.
