IR deals with spectra itself and almost without any processing. FTIR transforms IR spectra using Fourier transformation which allows to find very specific frequencies (each element has its own FTIR spectra).

Dispersive IR or simply just IR spectrometry takes absorptions of one monochromatic IR light at a time and sum those up to draw the spectrum. While this might take minutes FT-IR in the other hand, takes a summed absorption of multi-chromatic light and distributes it in order to make a spectrum using the Fourier transforms. This technique is much faster (1-4 seconds) and more effective.

microwave spec studies absorbtion and emmission in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum, infrared spec involves in IR region which is more energetic than MW spec.

MW region is adjacent to Far Infrared region as well.

What is the instrumental difference in IR and FTIR?

In FT-IR, an interferometer is used to collect a spectrum. This interferometer has a source, a beam splitter, two mirrors, a laser, and a detector. One part of the beam is transmitted to a moving mirror and the other is reflected to a fixed mirror. In Dispersive-IR, there is also a source and mirrors, but the source energy is sent though a sample and a reference path, through a chopper to moderate energy that goes to the detector, and directed to a diffraction grating. The diffraction grating separates light into separate wavelengths and each wavelength is measured individually.


What is the difference between IR and FT IR instruments?

A standard IR runs a single spectrum. An FT-IR uses an interferometer and makes several scans and then uses Fourier Transforms to convert the interferogram into an infrared spectrum.


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.


Why the mull technique is used in IR Spectroscopy?

Mull technique is the only technique which can be used for Ethacrynic acid. silicon oil is used to grind sample and in it. irt is placed on sodiun cells and cells are overlapped and kept in holder in FTIR apparatus.


How FT-IR spectrometer is used for material analysis?

FTIR is an effective analytical tool for identification of unknowns, sample screening and profiling samples. The FTIR measuring principle is a measurement with IR light. Contrary to NDIR with a narrow wave length area by means of an optical filter, the scan area of the IR wave length by use of the FTIR measuring principle is large. The principle of FTIR is that the gas/solid/liquid to be analysed is led through a cuvette with an IR light source at one end that is sending out scattered IR light, and a modulator that "cuts" the infra red light into different wave lengths. At the other end of the cuvette a detector is measuring the amount of IR light to pass through the cuvette. Like the NDIR measuring principle it is the absorption of light at different wave lengths that is an expression of the concentration of gasses to be analysed. By data processing, Fourier Transformation mathematics is used to turn the measured absorption values into gas concentrations for the analysed gasses. As the light, when using the FTIR measuring principle, is modulated into many different wave lengths, it is possible to analyse many different gasses in the same instrument; such as CO, H2O, SO2, NO, NO2, HCl, HF, NH3. Using the above measuring principle also produces a much larger data material (as compared to the conventional NDIR principle), from where the concentrations of the different gasses can be measured. The large data material supply excellent calibration curves and correlation values, thus providing very reliable analysis-results. Because chemical bonds absorb infrared energy at specific frequencies (or wavelengths), the basic structure of compounds can be determined by the spectral locations of their IR absorptions. The plot of a compound's IR transmission vs. frequency is its "fingerprint", which when compared to reference spectra identifies the material. FTIR spectrometers offer speed and sensitivity impossible to achieve with earlier wavelength-dispersive instruments. This capability allows rapid analysis of micro-samples down to the nanogram level in some cases, making the FTIR unmatched as a problem-solving tool in organic analysis. The FTIR microscope accessory allows spectra from a few nanograms of material to be obtained quickly, with little sample preparation, resulting in more data at lower cost. In some cases, thin films of residue are identified with a sensitivity that rivals or even exceeds electron or ion beam-based surface analysis techniques. FTIR relies on the fact that the most molecules absorb light in the infra-red region of the electromagnetic spectrum; this absorption corresponds specifically to the bonds present in the molecule. The sample is irradiated by a broad spectrum of infra-red light and the level of absorbance at a particular frequency is plotted after Fourier transforming the data. The resulting spectrum is characteristic of the organic molecules present in the sample. It has 600 - 4000 wavelengths. Used for the identification and quantification of organic species. Is capable of ultra trace organic analysis, e.g. for contamination on surfaces In addition to "standard" transmission FTIR we they also have the following sample handling capabilities: # Horizontal ATR - attenuated total reflectance. Allows measurement of aqueous solutions, elastic and viscous samples which are difficult to grind # Specular reflectance - allows measurement of thin films on metals # KBr Discs - allow suspension of powders in IR transparent KBr so they may be analysed # Gas cells - This may be used for FTIR analysis of a gaseous sample (e.g. headspace analysis or environmental monitoring) # Solution cells - for measuring liquid sample in transmission mode.

What is the difference between pir movement sensor and ir sensor?

Passive simply means that the unit does not emit IR light, but does detect it. All warm things emit some degree of IR. a PIR motion detector senses the difference between a warm body and the cold background. Active IR emits IR light to illuminate an area to be "seen" with it's CCD that is sensitive to IR. Most new Sony camcorders use active IR for "night vision". IR alone, with no modifier, simply refers to the spectrum of light known as Infra Red, which is slightly above human's vision range.
