Novel FTIR Spectrometer for the Biological Agent Detection
Conference paper
Abstract
This paper presents the work carried to investigate the possible usage of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTS) to remotely detect biological agents. We present a novel design of a Fourier transform spectrometer for biological agent detection. After presenting the opto-mechanical design of the device, a brief interpretation of selected measurements acquired by the device will be discussed. The spectrometer itself was tested on field tests in May 2011.
