FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY

  • Chapter
Handbook of Applied Solid State Spectroscopy

Abstract

”Fourier spectroscopy“ is a general term that describes the analysis of any varying signal into its constituent frequency components. The mathematical methods named after J.B.J. Fourier are extremely powerful in spectroscopy and have been discussed in detail [1–3]. Fourier transforms can be applied to a variety of spectroscopies including infrared spectroscopy known as Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. FT-IR spectroscopy includes the absorption, reflection, emission, or photoacoustic spectrum obtained by Fourier transform of an optical interferogram. The power of the method derives from the simultaneous analysis of many frequency components in a single operation. When Fourier concepts are applied to various terms of spectroscopy, the resultant technology creates a spectrometer that gives the entire spectrum in the amount of time that a conventional spectrometer (using dispersive elements like prism and grating) would need to scan across just a single line in the spectrum. Fourier spectrometers utilizing interferometers are thus faster by a factor equal to the number of resolvable elements in the spectrum. Fourier-based methods are used over a wide spectral range [4–7]. FT spectroscopy can be employed for a long range of frequencies varying over ultraviolet, visible, near infrared, mid infrared and even far infrared regions by selecting different beam splitters and detectors for the required ranges. No other dispersive technique can be used for such a wide range of frequencies [8].
