FTIR Technique DITA

Fourier-Transform-Infrared (FTIR) Technique uses an interferometer and a broad band light source to measure the absorption of all gas components in one scan. The recorded interferogram is fouriertransformed to yield the wavenumber-spectrum between 400 cm-1 and 4000 cm-1. Measuring a molecule in the gas phase makes it easy to identify through its known rotational-vibrational structure. The gained spectrum may be compared to FTIR-spectra of measured pure gases or to tabulated theoretical spectra of public domain libraries like HITRAN.
