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.
