I have a detector (Bomem) that is labeled DTGS/Poly. Does the Poly indicate the type of window in front of the detector? Does it need care like a
KBr window?

Well, a moment with Google and I can tell you that DTGS is deuterated triglycine sulfate and the Bomem instrument it is associated with is a DAx
Fourier Transform Far Infrared Interferometer, where x is a single integer most likely between 3 and 8 representing the model of the instrument.
I have no knowledge of this sort of spectroscopy, it is certainly not ordinary IR or FTIR and I doubt it uses a KBr window. It seems more akin to
Raman spectroscopy. Anyway I have reached my level of incompetence on this subject. Maybe another member can be more helpful.
