Goals of presentation;

To give general information
about differences between IR spectrometers
about FTIR theory

Chemical IR spectroscopy was emerged as a
science in 1800 by Sir William Herschel

Firstly most IR instrumentation was based on
prism or grating monochromators

Michelson invented interferometer in 1881

In 1949 Peter Fellgett obtained the first IR
spectrum by using FTIR spectrometer

In 1960s commercial FTIR spectrometers
appeared

In 1966 Cooley-Tukey developed an
algorithm, which quickly does a Fourier
transform

Spectroscopy deals with interactions between
matter and energy

Figure 4 : vibration energy levels of molecules
The infrared spectrum for a molecule is a
graphical display

The spectrum has two regions:

The fingerprint region 600-1200 cm
-1

Functional group region 1200-3600 cm
-1

determining structures of compounds
identifying compounds

acquiring and digitizing the interferogram
outputing the spectrum
Why FT-IR spectroscopy?

Non-destructive technique
Good precision
No external calibration
High speed
Signal-Noise ratio
Mechanically simple

What information can FT-IR
provide?

Identify unknown material

Determine quality or consistency of sample

Determine amount of components in mixture

Sample Preparation

Gaseous samples
Long pathlength to compensate for the
diluteness

Liquid samples
Can be sandwiched between two plates of a salt
sodium chloride
potassium bromide
calcium fluoride

2.The Interferometer

spectral encoding

resulting interferogram
signal obtains
Figure 8 : an interferometer
How does it work?
1. Dividing the radiation into two beams
2. One of them goes to fixed mirror
3. Other one goes to movable mirror
4. Recombining
5. Sending to detector

Interferogram: Name of the signal which has
time domain and occurs as a result of
constructive interferences.
Figure 11 : an interferogram example
A Fourier transform converts the time domain to
the frequency domain with absorption as a
function of frequency.

3.Detectors
The beam nally passes to the detector

Thermal detectors
Thermocouples
Bolometer

Photoconducting detectors
most sensitive detectors.

Pyroelectric detectors
much faster response time
insulator material
Triglycine sulphate

4.The Computer

The measured signal is
digitized and sent to the
computer where the
Fourier transformation
takes place.
