Abstract
A novel multichannel asynchronous time-resolving system with 16 time-resolving channels has been developed for conventional FT-IR spectrophotometers. The system enables measurement at 16 time delays simultaneously. This reduces the measuring time substantially and decreases possible damage of a sample by the stimulus. Moreover, simultaneous time resolving by the multichannel system improves the reliability of the data. As a performance test of the system, application to the study of reorientation dynamics in a ferroelectric liquid crystal is reported.
