The millisecond to microsecond time regime spans many dynamic processes such as reaction kinetics, molecular dynamics and complex system evolution. Accessing this time regime in the mid-infrared can be challenging and different existing approaches have inherent trade-offs such as requiring rapidly repeatable processes, sacrificing broadband spectral context or unacceptably low signal-to-noise.

In this talk, a new laser-based instrument at the Mid-IR beamline capable of accessing these fast timescales with reasonable spectral bandwidth will be introduced. This spectrometer is an excellent complement to broadband FT-IR measurements where information about the dynamics of the system of interest is limited by the useful time resolution of rapid-scan measurements or by the reproducibility requirements of step-scan measurements. Examples of applications and practical sampling considerations will be presented.
