Abstract
An on-line scanning sensor system includes a mid-infrared spectrophotometric analyzer, such as an interferometer, that can be used on-line in manufacturing environments. More particularly, the on-line scanning sensor system includes a first carriage for scanning motion across a traveling sheet of material; interferometer components that are carried by the first carriage and that includes devices for splitting and recombining infrared light, and for directing a collimated beam of the recombined light onto a traveling web of sheet material. Further, the system includes a detector system for receiving light from the interferometer components during scanning.
