Best Answer

FTIR instruments have distinct advantages over dispersive spectrometers:

1. Better speed and sensitivity.

2. Internal laser reference. The use of a helium neon laser as the internal reference in many FTIR systems provides an automatic calibration.

3. Increased optical throughput.

4. Simpler mechanical design.

5. Elimination of stray light and emission contributions.

What is range for FTIR?

FTIR or Fourier transform Infared spectroscopy is the simultaneous collection of spectral data in the wide spectral range.Which has quite an advantage over a dispersive spectrometer which only covers a narrow range of wave lengths at once.

What is the principle of FTIR?

The principle of FTIR is based on the fact that bonds and groups of bonds vibrate at characteristic frequencies. A molecule that is exposed to infrared rays absorbs infrared energy at frequencies which are characteristic to that molecule. In a molecule, the differences of charges in the electric fields of its atoms produce the dipole moment of the molecule. Molecules with a dipole moment allow infrared photons to interact with the molecule causing excitation to higher vibrational states. Diatomic molecules do not have a dipole moment since the electric fields of their atoms are equal. During FTIR analysis, a spot on the specimen is subjected to a modulated IR beam. The specimen's transmittance and reflectance of the infrared rays at different frequencies is translated into an IR absorption plot consisting of reverse peaks. The resulting FTIR spectral pattern is then analyzed and matched with known signatures of identified materials in the FTIR library.
