Description
A technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid, or gas. A Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer, most commonly called FTIR, simultaneously collects high-resolution spectral data over a wide spectral range. This confers a significant advantage over a dispersive spectrometer, which measures intensity over a narrow range of wavelengths at a time.
