Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) [1] is a technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid, or gas. An FTIR spectrometer simultaneously collects high-resolution spectral data over a wide spectral range.
An "interferogram" from a Fourier-transform spectrometer. This is the "raw data" which can be Fourier-transformed into an actual spectrum. The peak at the center is the ZPD position ("zero path difference"): Here, all the light passes through the interferometer because its two arms have equal length.
The spectra are plotted in units of log inverse reflectance (log 1/R) versus wavenumber. Alternative plots of Kubelka-Munk units can be used, which relate reflectance to concentration using a scaling factor. A reflectance standard is needed in order to quantify the reflectance of the sample because it cannot be determined directly. [2] [3]
By carefully interpreting the signs of the 2D synchronous and asynchronous cross peaks with the following rules, the sequence of spectral events during the experiment can be determined: if the intensities of the bands at x and y in the dataset are changing in the same direction, the synchronous 2D cross peak at ( x , y ) is positive
The FT method is used to decode the measured signals and record the wavelength data. And by using a computer, these Fourier calculations are rapidly carried out, so that in a matter of seconds, a computer-operated FT-IR instrument can produce an infrared absorption pattern comparable to that of a prism instrument.

There are two main approaches to two-dimensional spectroscopy, the Fourier-transform method, in which the data is collected in the time-domain and then Fourier-transformed to obtain a frequency-frequency 2D correlation spectrum, and the frequency domain approach in which all the data is collected directly in the frequency domain.
The schematic representation of a nano-FTIR system with a broadband infrared source. Nano-FTIR (nanoscale Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) is a scanning probe technique that utilizes as a combination of two techniques: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM).
FTIR mode Sample preparation Schematic diagram Transmission FTIR: Transmission mode is the most widely used FTIR technique in geoscience due to its high analysis speed and cost-efficient characteristics. [4] The sample, either a rock or a mineral, is cut into a block and polished on both sides until a thin (typically 300 to 15 μm) wafer is ...
