Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry: Theory and Instrumentation

  • Chapter
Transform Techniques in Chemistry

Part of the book series: Modern Analytical Chemistry ((MOAC))

Abstract

Over the past decade Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT—IR) has become an important tool for vibrational spectroscopists and analytical chemists. In this chapter we will discuss the theory of FT—IR and show how it relates to instrumental design. The performance of FT—IR spectrometers will be compared to that of conventional grating spectrometers, and illustrated in the next chapter through descriptions of several applications where FT—IR has been used to advantage.
