Abstract
With the advent of the commercial FT-IR instruments, and computer techniques, it is now possible to record the infrared spectrum of almost any material regardless of its shape or form. A number of different sampling accessories are available for recording the infrared spectra. Some of these accessories such as ATR and specular reflectance have been used successfully with dispersive instruments, but the FT-IR instruments allow these accessories to be used more rapidly and with greater sensitivity. Most of the sample handling techniques have been reviewed in detail in the series of volumes on “Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy” edited by J.R. Ferraro and J.R. Basile (1). In this paper, some of these techniques will be reviewed with particular emphasis on reflectance techniques (ATR and diffuse) and photoacoustic spectroscopy. Further applications such as far-IR, diamond cell, the absorption subtraction methodology can be found in the article by Krishnan and Ferraro (2). Unless otherwise mentioned, all of the spectra shown in this paper were recorded using the Digilab FTS-IR instruments.
