Mozza manual
Chapter 1 : Introduction
that allows for the high resolution of the AOTF and the MCT photodiodes with its analog-to-
digital converters (ADCs) that record the signal of the diffracted beam and the reference beam
for energy fluctuation compensation, and its software, which reconstructs the spectrum as the
measurement is running.
The MOZZA is an infrared spectral characterization tool. Such a function, despite all efforts
we put into designing this device as user-friendly as possible, cannot be carried out without an
intelligent operator, understanding at least the basic principles and limitations of the technique.
We hope the reading of this document will give you the necessary insights and allow you to
take full advantage of the MOZZA astonishing capabilities.
Note: The user must not move the optics, crystal or photodiodes inside
the MOZZA module. MOZZA has been factory-aligned in order to get
the best resolution and signal. All optical alignment must be done out-
side of the MOZZA module, optimizing the coupling into the MOZZA
Spectrum Analyzer by moving mirrors or lens. Moving optics inside the
MOZZA module results in misaligned spectrometer, resulting in incorrect
wavenumber calibration and/or loss of resolution.
