The main tool for surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy was the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer with a globar source. It allows spectroscopy of a sample over a broad spectral range, which in our case covers 1 µm to 20 µm. The disadvantage of this system is very low spectral power density of the globar. This can be partially compensated by long measurement times. In this work, we present a setup with a tunable quantum cascade laser as the light source in mid-infrared range. The 108 times higher spectral power density as compared to a globar reduces measurement time drastically. The combination of the quantum cascade laser with a microbolometer array for infrared light enables to map an area 2.8 * 3.1 mm2 with a spatial resolution of about 9 µm, a bandwidth from 1170 to 1300 cm−1, and a spectral resolution of 2.5 cm−1 within 5 minutes versus 16 hours using the conventional FTIR microscope with a comparable spatial and spectral resolution.
